48. Fran Booth Fran is currently studying Part time she is in year 4 of her studies. Studying part- time is a mixed blessing. Starting anything different and new is fraught with uncertainty and doubt, and I was challenged by ideology and by the need for skills which did not come easy. Being part -time has given me time to adjust, to learn, to grow, albeit slowly and painfully at times. The realisation that this journey is lifelong, and that there is no need to hurry through the Art School experience, has enabled me to enjoy the process with the luxury of time to reflect as well as improve my craft. But being part-time carries frustrations also: friends made have moved on, deadlines are meaningless, the intensity is less and “other life” is still consuming. For these reasons I hope to complete my final year in Birmingham full-time and thanks to the slow thorough preparation I feel I will be ready to do this. The Warwickshire College ethos and DipHE staff have enabled this to happen. They have accommodated my need to take a break from the course in order to go and learn more about the craft of my chosen medium, painting. They have enabled me to keep “other life” going by being flexible about studio times. They have been supportive of my frustrations and difficulties and have given me a well- tuned balance of guidance and intervention and space to experiment. It’s a friendly place. I recommend it. 22.11.09
