Fine Art Applicants and Universities 2014!!

Yeah, I'd like more people than just the artistic elite to be able to get something from my work. I'm really interested in how art can effect people, so that's quite important to me.
I'd say my interview was still intense/intimidating but it a very different way. Instead of a barrage of questions, the tutors stayed pretty much silent throughout the entire first half (not even a hello at the beginning). However, a lot of the questions other people seem to have been asked, such as why they used certain colours/materials or how they want people to view the work, are things I brought up anyway.
I think the only question they asked that I didn't have a direct answer for was 'Why do you paint men?', because there isn't a specific reason why I paint men. Two of the paintings featured well known figures, David Lynch and Charles Darwin, who I was using more as an archetype, but they just happened to be men. I used to use women a lot, and people often misinterpreted my paintings as being feminist, which wasn't my thinking behind them at all, so I think I've moved towards men to make my intentions clearer.

When you're actually in there the time just flies by and I think you're focused too much on the interview to be nervous. I don't think my interview went badly, I just have no idea if it went well, haha.

I agree. I think they've sent the definite offers/rejects and now they're deciding between the rest of us.
Does anyone know people who have been rejected? So far I haven't heard of any.

That does sound intimidating! I think I'd just end up rambling and losing track if they said nothing.
Oh well, there's not much point worrying, I'll just have to take it as it comes!

wait- have rejections or the courses been made after the interviews too? I thought it was only offers

Do you mind me asking how/why it was gruelling? I have my interview for goldsmiths on Tuesday , so it would be helpful to have some insight!

Goldsmiths really does seem to be a mixed bag. It's hard to tell what they thought, but I got the same impression you did (although I was for single honers). Good luck.

Hi. I had my joint honours goldsmiths interview! Bit of a weird one. Didn't really get to talk about the things I wanted to. Don't think I was quite what they were looking for. They didn't talk about art history at all.

I hope it went well! Don't fret about it though because I'm guessing that's how we all feel after the interview as it was rather strange. Just as long as you answered their questions its all that matters. But well done and good luck! We'll have to let each otherknow when we get a reply haha

Did UCL say that they would send out rejections/offers by today?!?
anijn;c'nobih ;va`dcml'on

Yes, they did. This is supposed to be their final day for making decisions, but if they aren't sent to UCAS until late in the day then we might not get them until tomorrow. I think that what Will01 was told (that not all decisions have been sent to UCAS yet) is probably correct as I would have thought they would have all been processed by now.
I'm trying to refrain from phoning Slade again.

Yeah - she said it will take a while :/
How many people interviewed you? Did you have the programme leader?

I'm not entirely sure who I had but I think I had the course leader along with a tutor and a third year student. They said to me that for joint honours we should hear by this week :') but seen as they still have interviews going I'm guessing that wasn't completely correct.

join the club! Its alright- it was so competitive, we did well just getting to the interview stage.
Do you guys have any artwork online? ima intrested

By the way, did you guys do a foundation course? do you think it matters much?
