Bethany has a highly motivated and industrious approach towards her creativity. She has made significant leaps this year, namely, her ability to combine a range of dynamic materials such as perspex, wood, resin, collage, etching, and visually engaging photography, to complete a range of mixed media outcomes. She is the first student I have taught who is actively combining her knowledge and skills developed in DT with her understanding of the formal elements of Art. Bethany approaches creative problem solving in a methodical and logical way. Willing to try out new ideas which she then reflects on in order to select what is aesthetically appealing and worthy of further development. Bethany's critical analysis skills show a growing awareness of contextual and conceptual resources that ultimately inform her own practice. She is a strong work ethic, consistently meeting deadlines, perusing clarification about anything she is unsure of and making artwork to the best of her abilities at all times.
