Unit 6, Thinking Forwards pt 1

I have considered Make Up and Special Effects. Definitely something to do with 3D. But I haven't explored many other options in terms of other universities as I would really like to stay at AUB and will go to some of the open days planned.

Give examples of how you have presented yourself and your work to others (50 words)

I have presented myself and my work mostly through this blog and in my sketchbook.

My progression route will hopefully be Model Making (3DD). I have had some experience with making props from TV shows in my spare time and have found that I would like to learn about more techniques and pursue a career in model making.

I've chosen this progression route as I have a strong passion for working in 3D, creating things that are meant to be used whether it be props or as other things, rather than simply being viewed, and untouchable. Although I used to think that model making was aimed more towards architecture, but these last few weeks have taught me otherwise.

In the past I have considered the Animation and Make-Up options as I am interested in them as well. However, I am leaning towards Model Making as I enjoy and would like to learn more about prop making and the likes.

Thus far, I have presented my work and myself on social media through pictures of my artwork.

In moving forward with Model Making I have researched prop making in particular as it is this aspect that intrigues me the most about the course.

Notes to self:

Have looked into other model making courses such as the one at the University of Hertfordshire (BA (Hons) Model Design) but it doesn't seem as appealing as AUB. However, it is closer to London and therefore would make it easier to go home. (http://www.herts.ac.uk/courses/model-design-special-effects)

I have also looked into the University of Brighton but I had visited in the past and did not like the campus' atmosphere.
