Summer project
I Am A PaintingIntroduction
In this project you are asked to choose a painting
made between 1900 and 1950 and translate it into
a wearable structure or garment which is coloured or
painted in the style of your chosen painting. Between
1900 and 1950 many of the important abstract styles
of painting originated such as Cubism, Futurism and
Surrealism.

Jean Paul Gaultier Masashi Honda Liisa Suvanto
Materials & methods
Materials used can include fabrics, strips of wood or
metal, plastics and cardboard. Your structure should
be made in such a way that it can be dismantled,
folded or rolled (like a tent or a kite for example) and
packed in a typical clothes shop carrier bag, which you
could design and make yourself.
Include at least two A2 sheets of drawings and ideas,
which show how you have developed your idea. Your
research should also include work in sketchbook
form. Practice your drawing skills over the summer in
preparation to start work in the autumn term. During
the first term we will be assessing your work, this
summer project will be part of this assessment and
will contribute towards Unit 1 Visual recording in Art
& Design.
This unit looks at your ability to identify and select
primary and other sources for recording purposes, to
recognise the full potential and limitations of materials,
techniques and processes. We will also be assessing
your ability to evaluate the suitability
of the use of these materials for your intended outcome
in the design process. You should consider the process
of exploring and recording through appropriate mark
making skills and be able to analyse and refine
developmental studies to produce outcomes.
The sort of qualities that we are looking for are records
of your research on your chosen painting and its
historical context. We will also be looking for a variety
of ideas being explored and generated visually as well
as the final wearable object.
Take a series of photographs of someone wearing
your design in an appropriate or relevant setting.
www.ucreative.ac.uk6 Summer project
Aim to be ambitious, try to be experimental with your
ideas. This completed project and photos should be
brought to universityon your first studio day.
If you are presently resident overseas and this is not
possible, you should bring drawings, photographs,
slides or video with you.
We look forward to seeing you at the start of term.

Funding Further EducationThe Further Education courses such as the UAL AB
Diploma, Extended Diploma, Foundation Diploma and
the LASER Access to HE, do not attract Student Loan
funding. Students are either self funding or supported
by parents or by a combination of both.
There are some additional sources of funding
available for the 2014/15 academic year which are
shown below. Please contact your Campus Student
Advice Manager for information and advice before
you begin your course.
16–19 Bursary Fund
The 16–19 Bursary Fund helps young people who
face the greatest barriers to continuing in education
after the age of 16. To make an application you
must be aged under 19 on 31 August immediately
preceding the start of your course.
Applications from students whose household income
is below £16,191 will be considered a priority but this
does not exclude students from households where
the income exceeds this if a specific financial need
can be demonstrated.
Some young people will automatically be entitled to an
award. The £1,200 Bursary, section to follow, provides
information on this. A means tested assessment will
enable us to award money to other young people
where a clear need for support is evident. Funds will
not simply be awarded because the student has a low
income. The fund is limited and there is no automatic
entitlement to support.
What costs can the 16-19 Bursary Fund help with?
£1,200 bursary
The fund provides a bursary of £1,200 to the most
vulnerable young people. This group includes care
leavers, those personally in receipt of Income Support
(or Universal Credit), and disabled young people
receiving both Employment Support Allowance and
Disability Living Allowance (or Personal Independence
Payment). Students who satisfy these conditions will
receive a £1,200 bursary.
12
Course costs
The fund can contribute towards course-related
costs including books, printing, field trips and art
equipment.
Travel
The fund can contribute towards daily travel expenses
to and from UCA. Students attending UCA as the
nearest Further Education institution to their home will
be considered a priority but those who have chosen
UCA over a closer institute will not be excluded.
All applicants must have taken advantage of any
student travel concessions available to them i.e. the
Student Oyster Card, Surrey Half Price bus / train
pass, Kent /Medway train / bus pass. Further details
are available on the travel information sheet.
Other / unforeseen circumstances
The 16–19 Bursary Fund can also help towards
other costs. This could include temporary support
with domestic emergencies or sudden changes
in circumstances, such as redundancy or a drop in
household income.
Help With Childcare Costs
• If you are aged between 16 and 19 and have
childcare responsibilities then you can get help
and support through the Care to Learn
scheme. This can provide help with childcare
costs during your period of study.
• Care to Learn can be accessed at
www.gov.uk/care-to-learn/overview

Living Away From Home
• If you are considering living away from home
to study a Further Education Course, you need
to be sure that you can fund it.
• There is a limited amount of money available
through our specialist residential bursaries
which have generally only been agreed for
students who are studying their preferred
course at the nearest college to them, but
who would have a long distance to travel.
For example, if you lived in Essex and wanted
to study in Kent, you would not be eligible.
However, if there are specific reasons why you
want or need to study at one of our campuses
then applications can be considered on an
individual basis.

If you aged 19 or over (and you are NOT 24 or over and
have not applied for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan (24+
ALL)) you may be able to apply for help from the Adult
Learner Support Fund
The Adult Learner Support Fund is designed to help
adult learners with a specific financial need which could
prevent them from participating in learning. It can help
towards the costs of your course such as materials,
equipment, travel, accommodation in certain instances
and unforeseen circumstances such as a sudden change
in circumstances.These funds are limited and therefore
awards are means tested. There is no automatic
entitlement.
Course Costs-The fund can help towards the cost of
materials, equipment packs, and field trips.
Travel-The fund can contribute towards daily travel
expenses to and from UCA. Students attending UCA as
the nearest Further Education institution to their home
will be considered a priority.
Help with Childcare Costs- If you are aged 19 and
have childcare responsibilities then you can get help
and support through the Care to Learn scheme. This
can provide help with childcare costs during your
period of study. Care to Learn can be accessed at|:
https://www.gov.uk/care-to-learn/overview
If you are aged over 20 and not in receipt of 24+ALL you
can apply for help with your childcare costs through the
Adult Learner Support Fund. However, funds are extremely
limited and early application is recommended. It should
be noted that due to limited funds we are generally only
able to make a contribution towards childcare costs.
Living Away From Home-If you are considering living
away from home to study a Further Education Course,
you need to be sure that you can fund it. There are limited
Residential Bursaries available which are generally only
agreed for students who are studying their preferred
course at the nearest college to them, but who would
have a long distance to travel.
www.ucreative.ac.uk16 Funding Futher Education
For example, if you lived in Essex and wanted to study
in Kent, you would not be eligible. However, if there are
specific reasons why you want or need to study at one
of our campuses then applications can be considered on
an individual basis.
If you are aged 24 or over and are applying for a 24+
Advanced Learning Loan you may be able to apply for
help from the 24+ Advanced Learning Loan Bursary
Fund (24+ALLBF)
Students aged 24 and above, starting their course in
September 2014 and requiring help with tuition fees may
now be eligible to apply for a 24+ Advanced Learning
Loans (24+ALL) to meet the cost of their fees.
However, it is important that you consider your own
circumstances and look into all options for paying for
your course before choosing to take out a 24+ Advanced
Learning Loan. This is not the responsibility of UCA. If
you want advice on managing your finances, you can
get impartial advice from the Money Advice Service at
https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk.
Further information is available in a 24+ALL Learner
Factsheet and Frequently Asked Questions. For more
information and a link to apply go to https://www.gov.uk/
advanced-learning-loans
If you are in receipt of a 24+ALL you may get further help
with the costs of your course, such as travel, materials or
childcare through the 24+ALLBF.
The Bursary Fund is designed to help vulnerable adult
learners with a specific financial need which could prevent
them from participating in learning. There are specific
priority groups including students with specific learning
difficulties or a disability, and lone parents.
Money will be awarded to learners where a specific
financial need has been identified. The fund is very limited
and there is no automatic entitlement to support.
