If I could break down a singular notion the Northern School of Art has taught me so far in my academic journey, is that not all of life’s compulsions have to necessarily be uptight and grotesque. In fact, they’ve showed me through their own passions, from lecturers to lunchtime staff, that a strive and a love for something you want to progress in is all about one’s own happiness and strive to move forward, without any pressures from external forces. The Northern School of Art has really opened my eyes not just mentally, but academically – through their small communities of workshops, accessible equipment and one-to-one’s regularly received by us students from our tutors.
Overall, The Northern School of Art has taught in such a small space of two and a half months, is that life is too short to take everything in life too seriously. Our passions towards our work and future holdings depend on our happiness and concentration we present now, whether that’s fine art, drama, or graphic design. In the end, life’s a beach.
