 
I've always had a love for art,
but it was only after taking Art GSCE that I realised
I found a sort of love for analysing art.
Taking it forward as a course at university was a natural step for me.
 
I choose to study at UEA because the History of Art course
is really varied and broad.
You have the core modules, but then you have the choice to
tailor the course to suit your own interests.
The main selling point was probably the Sainsbury Centre.
It's nice to take time out just to go and look and observe.
The class sizes are usually quite small.
Which enables a more close-knit discussion.
 
I've definitely become much more confident in my way of thinking.
 
A lot of art history is geared towards western history.
At UEA, the History of Art course is very much focused on world art,
and art as a trans-cultural phenomenon.
One of the highlights is definitely got to be
our trip to Venice.
Seeing all the paintings and churches
in the flesh was a worthwhile experience.
What I love about Norwich is that it's a small city
but it's got everything you need.
There's the Castle Museum, which often has new exhibitions,
as well as the smaller galleries situated
around Norwich.
I've had the opportunity to do work experience at a local gallery
over summer.
Which allowed me to learn more about
how a small commercial gallery works.
Being at UEA has been a really rewarding
experience so far, just being
a part of the student culture
has been really rewarding for me.
