What we are looking for when you apply to Kingston School of Art

Shown through your exploration of ideas, works in progress, sketchbooks, or experiments.

Show the iterative, playful exploration of possibilities; this means trying something more than once in different ways just to see what happens.

You can use annotations and captions in your submission to tell us what you were thinking and why, and what you would like to do next.

What influences and interests you? How do you see the world and what are you curious about?

This could be other artists, designers, or performers, but it could be things you do or see every day; what do you like to watch, listen to, read, follow, collect, wear, cook, eat, and do for fun?

You can show us your influences and interest through the work you make or perform, the research for a project, or by dedicating part of your submission to your influences or interests.

What are the different technical skills you have tried out so far? Don't worry if these don't seem related to the subject you are applying for, we know that everyone has been on a different journey to get here.

This could be performing, drawing, designing, making, photographing, painting, composing, dancing, building, filming, writing, curating, directing, weaving, sculpting, or telling stories.

Let's see more. Don't hold back, it can be daunting to show your work, but this is your chance to let your work speak for you.
