A-level student Jasmin Burt recently took part in an inspirational art competition at Paintworks, Bristol’s creative quarter, and we couldn’t wait to hear how she got on!
Jasmin's work
“I saw a poster in college about a pop-up art studio competition that was taking place at Paintworks. I thought it would be a good opportunity to practice my art skills as well as working to a brief and meeting other artists. I signed up for the event and received an email telling me about my brief which was 'What does Paintworks mean to You?'
I arrived at 9:00 on the day of the competition and didn't finish my piece until 20:00 that night. I might not have won, but this experience proved to be very useful because I had to work in timed conditions, in a competitive environment, which is a lot like real-life in the creative industry.”
