Arthur 2nd year
"My only knowledge of the subject before studying it at Oxford had come from my experience as a Fine Art student at A-level, my own
reading, and from visiting exhibitions and galleries. I was thrilled to be
able to continue my curiosities and further my knowledge in aspects
of the course like the extended essay. To be able to do a serious,
in-depth, and ultimately fascinating study of Walter Sickert and a
collection of his drawings at the Ashmolean with some of the world’s
experts on the subject was something I had wanted to do ever since
I found out about the artist. Not only was I able to embark upon
the project academically, but I also went on an ‘art-pilgrimage’ across
northern France in search of the casino in which the works were made."
