Education

2005 - 2009

School of Fine Arts in Sculpture

During my time at the School of Fine Arts, I immersed myself in the study and practice of sculpture, developing a deep understanding of form, texture, and spatial dynamics. I explored various materials, including clay, stone, and metal, to create both abstract and figurative works. My experience included hands-on workshops where I honed my technical skills in carving, molding, and casting, while also engaging in conceptual discussions that broadened my artistic perspective. I collaborated with fellow artists on group projects, critiqued each other’s work, and participated in exhibitions that showcased our evolving styles and techniques. This period was instrumental in shaping my artistic voice and solidifying my passion for three-dimensional art.

2009 - 2012

Bachelor of Arts in Teather

Pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Theater at Sure University provided me with a comprehensive education in both the theoretical and practical aspects of theater. Throughout my studies, I engaged deeply with various facets of theatrical production, including acting, directing, set design, and scriptwriting. The program emphasized collaboration, and I had the opportunity to work closely with peers on numerous productions, from intimate plays to larger, more complex performances. This experience allowed me to develop a strong understanding of character development, stagecraft, and the emotional nuances of performance. My time at Sure University also included critical analysis of classic and contemporary works, which enriched my appreciation for the art form and sharpened my ability to interpret and convey dramatic narratives. This education laid the foundation for my ongoing passion for theater and storytelling.
