Hiya, I had my interview at Kingston on Wednesday. It's really relaxed and informal, the interviewers are also really nice and try their best to put you at ease - they know everyone's nervous! You go in and lay out your portfolio on the table and then each person gets a turn to talk about their work for 5 minutes. One interviewer will look through your sketchbooks, while the other will look through your portfolio. It's very conversational, no need to prepare a speech! Typical questions are, "which piece are you most proud of?" "why do you want to do a foundation course?" "which area of art and design are you most interested in and why?" "why do you want to come to kingston?" and then they'll usually pick a piece they're really interested by and ask you to explain what it's about and what the concepts you're interested in. They might throw in a quirky question as well which at first might throw you off but I think they really just want you to answer honestly so they can find out more about you. For example, a boy in my interview was interested in film so they asked "which film should I go and see this weekend?". I really wouldn't worry about it! The only preparation I would recommend is making sure you have something to say about every piece in your portfolio so that you're not put on the spot. Guaranteed you'll be questioned about the piece in your portfolio you LEAST want to talk about - well, that's what happened to me and my friends!

Hope that was helpful, good luck!

      Where have all the pigeons gone?

      Well, they're back today. Something must have spooked them yesterday. And yes, like Angelina, my pigeons are also well turned out. They all wear the same uniform. I think they may be stock doves. As well as Mr and Mrs Woodpigeon I also get the collared doves.

      they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc.  Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      The discussion has been about the silence from certain posters about Truss's disastrous actions. Your 'gotcha' is merely a deflection.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      The banking crisis was a global event which enabled the Tories victory and to this day is somehow used against Labour  covid and furlough are under events which impacted economy.  But guess what? Not just the uk economy! energy prices a result of the Russian invasion, something Johnson said would never happen and as we seek to remove ourselves from non-renewable and Russian controlled natural resources, we have Tories and reform condemning Labour for pursuing renewables. Something most other sane countries are doing  We must also not forget the mad relative in the attic.  Brexit.  Something which contributed massively both to the black hole and to the foreseeable future lack of growth  (this is something starmer has also bizarrely tied himself to. Presumably in an attempt to placate the media/loons who think it was a good idea but which will fail in both aims)
