Hear what current and past student say about our Art & Design courses!
Ellena Borlase, a previous Art & Design student was awarded a BTEC Awards 2019 Bronze Certificate in the National BTEC Art and Design Student of the Year category!
Ellena was nominated by her lecturer Sharon Hawkins for her passion and incredible commitment to the course including a successful work experience placement with Double Elephant Print Workshop at Exeter Phoenix and she'll soon be starting her Print Making course at UWE Bristol this September.
She's even received a letter from the House of Commons / Department of Education in relation to her work!
Ellena said “From the get-go Petroc and the BTEC in Art has opened more doors for me then I could ever have hoped for, and enabled me to flourish as an independent and confident human being with a direction I want my career to travel. From work experience at a graphic design company; to running workshops with primary school aged children under the umbrella of STEAM; I have acquired skills not only in Art but also within the sphere of confidence and drive.”
