personal Statment (example)

I also play the piano/Keyboard in my spare time and enjoy the creative side of it e. I no longer work for PC World due to academic priorities, although I feel my time at PC World was a useful one and helped me to gain a good understanding of computers. My passion is art and I look forward to further developing my ability at degree level. While working there I gained a basic understanding of what makes a PC work, and learned about all the various integrated components. I have a passion for both playing and creating computer games and think this course would be ideal for me.

Throughout my time at both school and sixth form, I have been involved in a number of activities, and have also made an effort to maintain a good balance between this and my academic work. Being involved in and having the ability to give something back to my sixth form has always been important to me, and it is something that I am keen to continue at university. I have already had part time employment involving computer-related work at a company named PC World.

I feel that I would be suited for this degree, as consider myself to be a creative and motivated individual. I am required to create three separate projects for art showing an understanding of genre and style, I really enjoy doing this type of creative work and feel the course I am doing is a good learning experience for me. I then post my games on the Internet for people to download at their leisure. My current art course has helped me “branch out” more; I have experimented in many disciplines successfully producing paintings, pastels and drawings, which I had never really developed fully before. Combined with my ICT knowledge I am able to transfer paintings and drawing into my computer and use them in my games as animations etc.

My present interest in art is more painting/drawing based, although I do enjoy all areas of art.
