ok so before predicted a level grades result day. I was certain on doing an art foundation and then fine art at uni. but after doing a few history of art summer courses at goldsmiths and courtauld. I've realised that I've lost the passion for physical art- that surprises me- and history of art is something I really want to do. but should I still do art foundation and apply for a deferred year at university?
pros-
-art foundation is a tradition in my family
- I'm afraid people doing an art history course at university would have done an art foundation
-art foundation is free for under 19's
-it might help me with my history of art observations
-gives me time to reconsider my future
- i can reapply to the universitys i didnt get into
- i will meet more creative people
-i can save money during my deferred entry for universitys
-maybe do some abroad volunteering during holidays
cons-
- i will be a year older than most people an uni
-im scared i will lose my euphasim for history of art at degree level
-ive lost all my passion for art (atm)
- most universitys dont like a deferred year for a foundation in art
-i know theres more cons. but cant think of them lol
also how do you university view deferred years? are they more or least likely to give you an offer?
if you do art history at degree level did you do an art foundation?
p.s. one of my art techers think i should do an art foundation while the other thinks i shouldnt.
