This site represents a selection of work from past students. Since 2001 the course has been called Access to Art & Design. Changes in funding mean that from September 2012 it becomes a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design. The staff will be the same and the exceptionally high standard of teaching and learning that has resulted in a 100% success rate in getting students into university will continue. tonyj@wmcollege.ac.uk

Adrian Parsons. Beauty Boy Make-Up Kit, 2002
Digitally manipulated images printed on cardboard box, containing customised make-up. 13 inches x 11 inches x 4 inches.
Adrian was a student in the inaugural year of the Access course and was the first to be offered a place at university. He went to the London College of Printing (now called London College of Communication, University of the Arts). This particular piece was concerned with making a product that appeared to be one of many in a department store but on closer inspection revealed itself to be something extraordinary.
When he was a small child he was never comfortable playing with guns, cars and toy soldiers; he much preferred the dolls and dressing up. Never allowed to wear make up as a child, Adrian takes revenge on society with a fully working 'Beauty Boy Make Up Kit' so you can be 'pretty like Mom!’
