CASE STUDY FINE ART
‘A fantastic opportunity’ Tom Penney, a Foundation Fine Art Degree student flew to New York in June for a one-week scholarship on the summer ‘Drawing Marathon’ at the New York Studio School. The experience is described on The School’s website as a chance to ‘experience the intensity and rigour of the School’s perspective in a condensed manner.’ Tom was offered the placement by New York artist, Fran O’Neill, a tutor at the New York Studio School, who recently had an exhibition of her work at Station Plaza and spent time working with the art and design foundation group. Tom said, ‘This is a fantastic opportunity and I am honoured to have been given the chance to have the experience of a life-time.’ Jeb Haward, course tutor said, ‘this has been an invaluable experience for Tom and we are very grateful to Fran for her support in offering our students this opportunity. It helps them attain real-life experience with real professionals and we are very happy to be able to offer this opportunity to a lucky student next year.’
