This year I learned to think more thoroughly about the stuff I make which allows me to turn something that could be just plain silly fun, into something that is intelligent silly fun. As difficult as Humanities was at times, it did help me in that area.

After spending a few years out of school, returning during to my studies during a pandemic was certainly a difficult and unfamiliar experience. But the way students and staff were able to adjust to remote learning, and create connections despite the distance, made all the difference!

In a year full of uncertainty, I was able to break through the fear of the unknown by exploring a variety of artistic practices. The most important thing is that I found myself, and I will never forget that experience.

During my Foundation year I learned that fear shouldn't stop you from getting started. COVID-19 made it a difficult time for everyone, but it was a good enough semester.

During Foundation I learned a lot about my practice as an artist, specifically in regards to design. Although what I found most valuable was learned outside academics, and it's how to cope with declining mental health.

Foundation year has given me many different ways of exploring and thinking about creativity. It now makes so much sense - yet never did before.

I have had an appreciation for the arts since I can remember although now I have learned some of the fundamental knowledge of art history and art and design. My art practice and process has excelled and evolved from this experience. My first year in Foundation was memorable and a virtual success.

My Foundation year, though not quite how I picture it initially, has been such an eye-opening experience. Not only did I get to develop as an artist, the community that I've found here through other artists, faculty and friends is invaluable to me.

In this past year I've learned not to be afraid of change. Many times I'm not satisfied with my work, but am afraid to change it fearing I'll make it worse. After my first year at ECU, I'm learning to embrace fear and bravely go forward.
