Student Profile

Jessica Tipper

The MA Fine Art course is mind-blowing. It allowed me to explore new media and tackle challenging topics at the cutting edge of contemporary fine art. Before starting the course, I had dabbled in digital 3D modelling, and I was eager to develop this skill further. Mostly self-taught, I worked rigorously to refine my abilities, creating surreal 3D images, animations, and 3D-printed sculptures. The course is intensive and asks a lot of you as an artist; with an 80% weighting on independent studio practice, I got to churn out work and develop a completely transformed methodology. At the busiest point of the year, I was teaching three separate courses weekly while working in the studio every day. Each day felt like an opportunity to learn something transformative which I could then pass on to my students, approaching art and design topics from a refreshed perspective. It was demanding but incredibly empowering.

On days when I struggled, I found support in the community of people I met during the course. We helped each other navigate the intensity of the year. After a three-year break from arts education, I had a deep appreciation for the studio space and facilities. On slower days, when I lacked energy, the studio became a haven, even if just a space to think or answer emails.
