Hello my name is John Broadhurst and i am currently studying BTEC Fine Art at college. I take a great interest in art and Ive have been doing it most of my life, in high school and in my spair time. I love to just sit and draw anything that captures my interest. Also i enjoy to use my camera to take pictures of my surroundings and when i am out and about on my skateboard.
I also enjoy travelling and the places Ive been to have inspired me in my work; particularly seeing different types of architecture and culture. I went to America a few years back and i loved every day i spent there. I visited lots of the famous art museums in New York, such as MOMA.

I am really interested in the Fine Art programme because i think it suits me really well. I enjoy to experiment with different techniques so i can get the best out of my work. I am always experimenting with different medias and techniques because this opens up new types of work processes. i like to read into different artists and see who's out there. one of my favourite artists is Banksy, a graffiti based artists who uses different types of imagery to put over a point. Coming to University and starting a new programme to me is a new and harder task that i cannot wait to get started on. It will make me work to that higher level in my art that i want to be at. I went to the open day at Manchester and i got a really good feeling about the university, the course sounds great for me.
i am a very hard worker and i always try to work to the best of my ability's. I am a good time keeper and can always hand work in for deadlines.
