How do I write a personal statement for an Art Foundation application?

If you are applying for an Art Foundation, check the course's website as they might offer more specific guidance on what they'd like (eg. word count). By researching and mentioning details of the course that attract you, it really shows how dedicated and interested you are.The most important thing is to demonstrate your passion for art or design - you can show this in many ways, for example by talking about the latest exhibition you visited and how that influenced your work (this shows you are engaged with what's happening in the art world). It's also refreshing to read how something completely different to art, for example maths, the music you listen to, or your dreams have an impact on your work.It is different to non-art school applications in the sense that you talk much more about your personal work and influences, as well as what you want to gain specifically from the course.
