Wirral Metropolitan College

At certain times I think many art students go through the stage of thinking “why am I putting myself through this”. many people are creative without having to slog through a degree course to get fulfillment or the confidence. I reached that stage recently, and everything I touched seemed to be disasterous, and the concepts and thoughts were very chaotic. There is also the thought about what is next, after the end of the course. i am happy to say that I have worked through this after a fashion, and now working on the standard one step at a time process. I have wanted to study art for years. For financial reasons I could not go to Limerick School of Art when I was offered a place thirty years ago, and while I hate regrets, that was one I had. Going to Wirral Met is my way of remedying that regret and most of the time I am happy about that! So for anyone who is in final year, accept that doubts and occasional panic will kick in, deal with them and then refocus. Not long to go, and then concentrate on your own stuff, this particular stage of the journey is ending, but in a way it is only the start. I love cliches!
