Artists Access to Art Colleges: Home

City of Bath College   2008/2009

Tom Goddard

I studied painting at University and have also specialised in printmaking methods such as mono and screen-printing, dry-point, etching, and lithograph. I have experience in modelling in ceramics but wish to gain more experience of glazing.

I would like to use both the painting, printmaking and ceramics facilities during the access period and wish to produce a series of small prints, paintings and ceramic pieces incorporating the family of characters I have created over the last four years through other mediums etc…

This will enable me to explore further into the concept of the multiple-self. It will also enable me to access printmaking, ceramics and library facilities that will benefit this period of self-initiated and professional research.

I would be aiming to produce a body of work over an intensive period that will help to continue my exhibiting profile, professional development and bolster my future applications to the Royal College.

I have engaged the attention of numerous pupils with a range of different abilities and ages. My conscientiousness has led me to embrace every task with energy and enthusiasm.

I would hold a presentation introducing my work, exhibitions and progress since graduating from university. I would also like to hold an informal interim talk with questions and answers leading to a final presentation and exhibition of my completed series of works.

Throughout the scheme I would use the format of lo-fi fanzines, which I create regularly, compiled with writings, cartoons, reviews and various types of humorous observation that I would employ to advertise and promote my work and its’ progress to students and staff.
