Art Technician CV format and structure

Think your CV is just about the content within it? Think again.

Your CV needs to look professional and be easy for recruiters to read, meaning the structure and format of your CV are just as important as the written content within it.

Facilitate ease of reading by using a simple structure which allows anybody to easily navigate your experience.

How to write a CV

Tips for formatting your Art Technician CV

  • Length: Whether you’ve got one year or three decades of experience, your CV should never be more than two sides of A4. Recruiters are busy people who’re often juggling numerous roles and tasks, so they don’t have time to read lengthy applications. If you’re a recent graduate or don’t have much industry experience, one side of A4 is fine.
  • Readability : Recruiters appreciate CVs that they can quickly scan through without trouble. Ensure yours makes the cut by formatting your headings for attention (bold or coloured fonts should do the trick) and breaking up long paragraphs into smaller chunks or short, snappy bullet points.
  • Design & format: Your CV needs to look professional, sleek and easy to read. A subtle colour palette, clear font and simple design are generally best for this, as fancy designs are often harder to navigate.
  • Photos: Don’t add profile photos to your CV unless you work in an industry or region which prefers to see them. Most employers in the UK will not need to see one.

Quick tip: Creating a professional CV style can be difficult and time-consuming when using Microsoft Word or Google Docs. To create a winning CV quickly, try our quick-and-easy CV Builder and use one of their eye-catching professional CV templates.

CV formatting tips

CV structure

When writing your CV , it’s important to structure the content into the following key sections to ensure easy digestion by busy recruiters and hiring managers:

  • Contact details: List your contact details at the top of your CV to prevent them from being overlooked.
  • Profile: Begin with an introductory paragraph that captures recruiters’ attention and summarises what you have to offer employers.
  • Work experience/career history: List your relevant work experience in reverse chronological order, starting with your current position.
  • Education: Provide a brief summary of your education and qualifications.
  • Interests and hobbies: An optional section to showcase any hobbies that highlight transferable skills relevant to your target jobs.

Now you understand the basic layout of a CV, here’s what you should include in each section of yours.

Contact Details

Contact details

Tuck your contact details into the corner of your CV, so that they don’t take up too much space. Stick to the basic details, such as:

  • Mobile number
  • Email address – It should sound professional, such as your full name.
  • Location -Just write your rough location, rather than your full address.
  • LinkedIn profile or portfolio URL – If you include these, ensure they’re sleek, professional and up-to-date.

Art Technician CV Profile

Your CV profile (or personal statement , if you’re an entry-level applicant) provides a brief overview of your skills, abilities and suitability for a position.

It’s ideal for busy recruiters and hiring managers, who don’t want to waste time reading unsuitable applications.

Think of it as your personal sales pitch. You’ve got just a few lines to sell yourself and prove you’re a great match for the job – make it count!

CV profile

How to write a good CV profile:

  • Make it short and sharp: When it comes to CV profile length, less is more, as recruiters are often time-strapped. Aim for around of 3-5 persuasive lines.
  • Tailor it: Not tailoring your profile (and the rest of your CV) to the role you’re applying for, is the worst CV mistake you could make. Before setting pen to paper, look over the job ad and make a note of the skills and experience required. Then, incorporate your findings throughout.
  • Don’t add an objective: If you want to discuss your career objectives, save them for your cover letter , rather than wasting valuable CV profile space.
  • Avoid generic phrases: Focus on fact, not fluff. Phrases like “Committed and enthusiastic thought-leader” and “Dynamic problem solver” might sound fancy, but they’ll do nothing for your application. Not only do they sound cheesy, but they have no substance – stick to real skills and facts

Example CV profile for Art Technician

What to include in your art technician cv profile.

  • Experience overview: Recruiters will want to know what type of companies you’ve worked for, industries you have knowledge of, and the type of work you’ve carried out in the past, so give them a summary of this in your profile.
  • Targeted skills: Ensure that your profile highlights your key skills that are most relevant to your Art Technician, and tailor them to match the specific job you are applying for. To do this, refer to the job description to closely align your skills with their requirements.
  • Important qualifications: Be sure to outline your relevant Art Technician qualifications, so that anyone reading the CV can instantly see you are qualified for the jobs you are applying to.

Quick tip: If you are finding it difficult to write an attention-grabbing CV profile, choose from hundreds of pre-written profiles across all industries, and add one to your CV with one click in our quick-and-easy CV Builder . All profiles are written by recruitment experts and easily tailored to suit your unique skillset.

Core skills section

Next, you should create a bullet pointed list of your core skills , formatted into 2-3 columns.

Here, you should focus on including the most important skills or knowledge listed in the job advertisement.

This will instantly prove that you’re an ideal candidate, even if a recruiter only has time to briefly scan your CV.

Work experience

Now it’s time to get stuck into your work experience, which should make up the bulk of your CV.

Begin with your current (or most recent) job, and work your way backwards.

If you’ve got too much experience to fit onto two pages, prioritise space for your most recent and relevant roles.

Work experience

Structuring each job

Whilst writing your CV, it’s essential to look at it from the eyes of a recruiter.

If they’re met with giant blocks of text which are impossible to navigate, they might get frustrated and skip onto the next CV.

Instead, make use of the 3-step structure shown below, to give them a pleasant reading experience.

Role descriptions

Begin with a summary of your role, detailing what the purpose of your job was, who you reported to and what size of team you were part of (or led).

Key responsibilities

Next up, you should write a short list of your day-to-day duties within the job.

Recruiters are most interested in your sector-specific skills and knowledge, so highlight these wherever possible.

Key achievements

Lastly, add impact by highlight 1-3 key achievements  that you made within the role.

Struggling to think of an achievement? If it had a positive impact on your company, it counts.

For example, you might increased company profits, improved processes, or something simpler, such as going above and beyond to solve a customer’s problem.

Sample job description for Art Technician CV

Collaborate with teachers to ensure well-planned art programmes are delivered in the best possible way, for a trusted school that provides popular lessons of creative learning which enables primary schoolers to express themselves and extend their artistry capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create aesthetic displays, including professional signage and labelling of artworks, while helping students produce appropriate mounts to compliment student designs.
  • Frame pupils’ art pieces to be hung onto professional tracks around the school in conjunction with directional spotlighting.
  • Check that paintings are correctly displayed, preserved, and repaired if necessary.
  • Coordinate special events programmes in consultation with the community relations team and relevant staff.

Quick tip: Create impressive job descriptions easily in our quick-and-easy CV Builder by adding pre-written job phrases for every industry and career stage.

Education section

After your work experience, your education section should provide a detailed view of your academic background.

Begin with those most relevant to Art Technician jobs, such as vocational training or degrees. If you have space, you can also mention your academic qualifications, such as A-Levels and GCSEs.

Focus on the qualifications that are most relevant to the jobs you are applying for.

Hobbies and interests

The hobbies and interests CV section isn’t mandatory, so don’t worry if you’re out of room by this point.

However, if you have an interesting hobby , or an interest that could make you seem more suitable for the role, then certainly think about adding.

Be careful what you include though… Only consider hobbies that exhibit skills that are required for roles as a Art Technician, or transferable workplace skills.

There is never any need to tell employers that you like to watch TV and eat out.

An interview-winning CV for a Art Technician role, needs to be both visually pleasing and packed with targeted content.

Whilst it needs to detail your experience, accomplishments and relevant skills, it also needs to be as clear and easy to read as possible.

Remember to research the role and review the job ad before applying, so you’re able to match yourself up to the requirements.

If you follow these guidelines and keep motivated in your job search, you should land an interview in no time.

Best of luck with your next application!

What art and design tutors are looking for

The underlying message is that tutors want to know about you, your practice, your inspirations, and your aspirations, and for your personal statement to act as written accompaniment to your portfolio and performance at interview.

How to make your art and design statement stand out

Admissions tutors prefer to read personal statements that don't stick to a predictable formula – here are a few tactics to ensure yours packs a punch.

  • Focus on the course: Martin Conreen, design admissions tutor at Goldsmiths, University of London, urges applicants for design courses 'not to over mention art' but to stay focused on design. He also feels some applicants waste too much space on non-relevant factors like their sporting achievements.
  • Your influences: Martin adds he wants to hear who your influences are, why they inspire you, and 'how their work has resonance with your own, or with your own ideas'.
  • Examples of what inspires you: David Baldry, fine art course leader at University Campus Suffolk, echoes this: 'Tell us what inspires you. We want to know what contemporary art interests you, so talk about key artists or an exhibition that made an impression on you. We want to know how you respond to the world creatively, so talk about your experiences or projects you’ve developed independently. Also, edit it so it sounds punchy'.
  • Demonstrate your artistic ambitions: Alison Jones, fine art admissions tutor at Goldsmiths, is looking for 'interesting individuals who have a passion for art and a commitment to developing themselves as artists. Therefore, your personal statement should demonstrate an understanding of your own work, focusing on what is unique about your practice'.
  • Be original: starting your statement with a well-known quote – such as 'fashion is not something that exists in dresses only' – is inadvisable. 189 applicants quoted that exact Coco Chanel snippet last year, so it really won't make you stand out from the crowd.

It's all summed up nicely by Arts University Bournemouth whose advice is:

'Be focused on the field you're applying for (no scattergun approach), name artists or designers you admire, think contemporary, reflect on exhibitions or galleries or events you've visited, and don't think "I'll tell them at the interview" – put it in the statement!'

Illustration & art personal statement example.

I have always enjoyed Art from an early age. My earliest memory of this is doodling on sheets of computer paper and cutting up old Christmas cards to make new images. I can remember spending most of my childhood just drawing and being inspired to make and design anything and everything! This love of Art has stayed with me and developed and grown and, now, I cannot imagine wanting to do anything else.

I have always wanted to work within the Art and Design industry because it has always felt like the right direction for me to take. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to go to an Art school and I now feel really lucky to have the opportunity to do so: I am feeling very excited about my future!

I enjoy being creative and I view Art as a natural way for me to express myself. I particularly enjoy drawing and how this allows me to create images in a way that I see them. I enjoy working in a figurative and detailed way and I aim to make my work expressive and visually interesting through tone and mark-making.

I feel, from my progression from G.C.S.E through A Levels to A.V.C.E, I am beginning to develop my own style and way of working. I particularly enjoy portraiture work and using animals as subject matter.

Whilst at Crosshall High School, I achieved seven G.C.S.Es, gaining a grade A in Art. I have since gone on to achieve three A levels and two A/s Levels at Runshaw college. I have completed an A Level in Fine Art, whilst there, and I enjoyed this extremely.

I found this course very challenging but rewarding as I had grown in my understanding of the discipline and I gained a grade B. I am currently completing an A.V.C.E Art and Design course. This two-year course has been very beneficial to me as I feel I have developed my skills within Art and have gained an understanding of the various disciplines within Art and Design.

This course has led me to my decision to specialise within Illustration. I enjoy creating images in response to a piece of writing or a particular theme. I like the creative freedom this allows and the vast potential for work.

My interests include reading and some of my favourite novels include To Kill A Mockingbird and Mary Shelleys Frankenstein. My favourite novel has to be Animal Farm because it is so well written and has great impact. I have recently carried out an illustration brief based on this novel and this was very exciting for me and, I feel, a turning point in my work.

I enjoy visiting Art Galleries and exhibitions. I am particularly interested in figurative portraiture and Illustration-based exhibitions. I have recently visited an exhibition about drawing styles at my local Art Gallery. I found this very interesting as there were varied styles and approaches to drawing( I especially liked Posy Simmons use of storyboards).

A few months ago I visited an exhibition for childrens illustrator Shirley Hughes at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. This had a great impact on me and was one of the factors that has led to me pursuing a career in Illustration. I love the way she combines her use of image against text and the way she uses media expressively.

At this stage, I am interested in childrens book illustration as there are so many quality, contemporary illustrations at the moment that I find inspiring. I see illustrations for childrens books as something worthwhile and or importance. They can capture a childs imagination and inspire and motivate them to learn to read.

I have worked for the past three years at a bakery as a part-time counter assistant. This involves such duties as dealing with customers, dealing with money and organising displays. I have really enjoyed this job as we are a fairly busy shop and so I meet a lot of different people and I find this very rewarding.

Prior to this, I have worked voluntarily at a local vets practise. I found this very interesting because I like animals and this was a chance for me to learn more about them. I have also been involved in an activity group for disabled children . This experience was invaluable to me as I met such interesting and amazing people.

The group activities included Art and Crafts and this taught me how Art can be therapeutic and< basically, just a worthwhile form of expression.

the work experiences are

Fri, 02/12/2005 - 00:00

the work experiences are largely not related to the subject for which the statement has been written. the writing style is long winding which may distract a busy selector's attention.

Can be improved

Sat, 24/12/2005 - 00:00

The statement is not THAT BAD, however it can be improved. For example by starting sentences with anything other than 'I', especially the first sentence which really needs to create much more of an impact, for a great statement. Also, including information, which can be found in other parts of the application is classic schoolboy error and should be avoided. Hence the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs need to go. The other parts are fine though, and by the way it's not your work experience does not need to be related to your course. You just need to be able demonstrate what you've got from it.

on visiting an art school

Mon, 09/01/2006 - 00:00

on visiting an art school open day, they specifically say in our personal state ments not to put or ever be tempted to write "from an early age i have always done art" etc as about 95% of the application forms they recieve now, start with that. and it has since become an absolute turn off.

Mon, 06/03/2006 - 00:00

Wed, 11/10/2006 - 01:52

I quiet enjoyed reading your personal statment. As a fellow artist, and high school student. I have before encorperated my artistic backround into my statments in the past. And its is a plus, being able to write a creative peice, using your artistic talents. But unfortuantly, if your planning to sending this to apply for college.

Your going to need to consider who its going to. Or who's going to be reading your statment. Sometimes being creative, is not always the best choice. I never said it was wrong to be different. Its always great to pull the reader in threw a intresting beginning. And keep it strong threw your paper. My advice to you, in this statment make sure your resoning for your appliance is clear and concice. Make sure your resons aren't jumbled in with your creativeness. Follow threw with repetition. And most importantly, make yourself look good. What do you have to offer? What are your talents? ext. Your on a good start, your future is bright.

the majority of people whom

Tue, 21/11/2006 - 20:16

i think that this was a good start, better than what i have so far...its mainly just bullet points of the info i know i need =S

im going to attempt to carry on with mine so wish me luck n good luck to everyone else!

fine art student

Tue, 13/02/2007 - 17:19

The personal statment may be too obvious about her likes and interests, but its that what the universities of art and design are looking for?

There is a lot of important information about the person. How they work, what inspires them, why the course is right for them, the books the person has used for previous work,also, about her outside activities, e.g her job.

Personaly i think you are being negative about this statment, i love how personal it is, its more or a biography, than a formal statment. Surely thats different?

too many I's

Wed, 20/06/2007 - 17:11

As an art student myself this was a pretty poor personal statement, you don't need to write about how you have worked in a bakery or at the vets as it is not relevant to the subject you are applying for. Also the guide within this website say's you shouldn't put 'I' everywhere and this is what exactly what this person has done. Who ever gave it three stars is a 'tit'!

oh my god... that last person

Tue, 26/06/2007 - 12:40

oh my god... that last person has serious issues- did they actually sit and write out the word all that many times, or was it copy and paste frenzy? Either way,they're massive hypocrytes and pretty stupid. I actually quite like your statement and want to do practically the same course as you, so it will be pretty helpful. I share quite a bit of your arty likes and styles. THANKYOU and GOOD LUCK. Ignore the retards.:-)

The jobs are listed because

Thu, 19/07/2007 - 11:31

The jobs are listed because they show social interaction on the part of the student. If the course required the use of team work then that information would be necessary for the University to make a decision based on the statement. However, like the previous comments, it would be better to list these if they were more Art related. The opening statement is a tad overused though, it sounds like a speech from Pop Idol.

Mon, 23/07/2007 - 16:08

i'd love to see all of your 'perfect personal statements' seems as this one is supposedly so crap.

I like you`re statement on

this statment is well written but has some unrequired information. such as the books this person likes,unnecessary information. plus it seems like this person is trying to hard. well written but should be more from th heart instead of winning the addmissions person over. tut tut!!

seriously the ps wernt that bad, it just went on a bit, like with the bakers job thing, most of the criticisms are based on ur opening line, change that n it shudnt b that bad xxxxxx

Hey, just to let you know

Thu, 29/11/2007 - 11:14

Hey, just to let you know that this personal statement really helped me, although i plan to do fashion management, art and design is the subject i enjoyed most at school, so therefore planned to write about that.

One suggestion, don't write about your grades, because the people who are reading your personal statement already have a copy of your grades.

Altogether i thought that it wasn't all that bad. Thank you for youe help.

Sun, 20/01/2008 - 10:03

I have to say- I found the first paragraph about your childhood creativity quite touching, though thanks to some of the useful critique I now know this isn't a good starting point. Thanks for posting this, it's been insightful and the comments have given me a bit of an idea of what is and isn't needed in a Personal Statement!

NEVER USE ANYTHING LIKE THIS

Mon, 28/04/2008 - 20:08

Put off by the first phrase- shows how little you actually know. Poor.

First of all I would like to

Thu, 26/06/2008 - 14:14

First of all I would like to say thanks for sharing. It may not be the most perfect personal statement ever, but I know I couldn't do any better (why else would I, or anyone else who's commented, be lurking on this site?) I think some people are being a little under appreciative here.

It's true that maybe not all the infomation you provided was completely relevant, and it's not the most inspirational piece I've ever read, but as an art student interested in illustration I can really see where you're coming from. I guess all the nostalgic crap at the beginning kinda touched me, 'cuz I was exactly the same when I was younger. I think you really got the most important message across in this - and that's just how passionate you are about art.

The problem with your personal statement is that it sounds really childish. Work on making it more precise and don't make so many general points but take around 5 key points that you want to put across and tell me more about them. - (Why you have chosen to put them in)

Wed, 17/12/2008 - 16:09

I thought this personal statement gave a true reflection of the person and made someone like me, who doesnt know the person, have a clear insight into her personality and why she wants to study art, the only thing i would have done differently is included more hobbies!

i completly agree with the

Tue, 06/01/2009 - 20:50

i completly agree with the previous comment, using the 'i've always wanted to do this' is such a cliche and i doubt that the people reading it will be excited by this...

Mon, 12/01/2009 - 01:29

Well, I've read the statement as well as the many compliments and criticisms- mostly that. I don't think it's the best no, but I've now got confidence that my personal statement will be decent. :D

OMG!! i am very angry at the

Wed, 21/01/2009 - 16:33

OMG!! i am very angry at the moment. THE MOST WORDS and SENTANCES THAT R USED IN THIS STATEMENT ARE FROM MY STATEMEN. I INSIST TO KNOW WHO IS THIS PERSON WHO COPIED MY PERSONAL STATMENT AND FROM WHERE DID THEY COPIED IT FROM!!!!! THANK YOU

then it sounds like you ^

Fri, 23/01/2009 - 03:11

then it sounds like you ^ need to rewrite your statement anyway

i went to runshaw college,

Tue, 27/01/2009 - 22:08

i went to runshaw college, haha. i dont think the start of this personal statemnt gives off any personality, to me it just sounds a bit mechanical. i guess its what unis want to hear, but to me it doesn't feel very personal.

without....

Tue, 24/02/2009 - 09:39

...sounding too crude, this litterally is the worst personal statement i have encountered. Repetitions of 'I's' and boring non inspiering narrative of a mundane life! I mean lets be honest, does he/she really really enjoy working for a baker? and reading To Kill A Mokingbird? (which may i remind everyone was probebly only thrown in there as its a standard book to read for GCSE so they might know alot about it if the book gets brought up in the interveiw) these manarisms can only be related to that of Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons, id rather eat my own foot then believe this is a 5 star rated piece of nonsense

looking at this personal

Wed, 25/02/2009 - 22:04

looking at this personal statement i feel greatfull that i happend to stumble across it it had provided me with the bare essentials for my own personal statement and i am proud to say it helpd me to write what was described as outstanding. thanks you so much for the help!! xx

I thought the statement

Mon, 17/08/2009 - 22:35

I thought the statement showed the passion for the subject but slightly struggled to find discussion points and to present them in an original or imaginative way. I think the childhood reminiscing should have been kept to a strict minimum, unless you wanted to lead on to a more relevant and more imaginative point.

I don't mean to bring this

Sun, 04/10/2009 - 15:09

I don't mean to bring this personal statement down, but its been rated 4 stars and yet it completely defies some of the rules provided by this site on what not to write in a personal statement.

One for example: 'Do not repeat what has already been written in your UCAS form'

This person, as good as it's written, has said on more than one occasion what they got in GCSE and so on.

did you get in????

Sun, 22/11/2009 - 20:09

i was wondering if you got in to your course :) by the way i think it was quite good ,better than me anyway.....

Tue, 01/12/2009 - 18:13

i was just wondering why alot of the comments are quite mean? I think its nice that you posted your personal statement to help out others with there's, if they are having trouble. id also like to add WOOOW some of you art students arnt very nice people judging from your rude and sometimes offensive comments, and id like to see if half of you could do better.

the feedback in the comments

Fri, 01/01/2010 - 16:43

the feedback in the comments section has been more helpful here than anything else.

Cheek of some folk!

Tue, 12/01/2010 - 18:34

I love the fact that someone said:

"Check your grammar, it should be vetinary practice, not practise. i.e the noun not the verb".

Perhaps you should check your own spelling. Instead of 'vetinary', maybe you should write 'veterinary' i.e. the correct spelling and not the made-up one!

Sun, 21/11/2010 - 15:16

I do find this personal statement useful. However I can't help but notice that this person has spent a large portion of their statement writing about what results they have recieved in exams. This is, unfortunately, redundant information as this is what the other sections of a UCAS form are for. Mentioning them in context is advisable, for example in reference to what one has learned whilst doing the course, rather than just reeling them off as a list of achievements. On a lighter note, this person has showed great enthusiasm for what they wish to do. Possibly not in the most mature or original way, but it is an example to follow all the same. I hope this comment is useful to others in my position, unlike half of the drivel written above.

Thu, 02/12/2010 - 11:20

Many of the people who have commented, expressing how they feel towards this PS intend to go to University, yet cannot spell. Good luck with that!

Common Interview Questions To Expect

The interviewer is looking for insight into your long-term aspirations and how they align with the company's goals. Be honest, specific, and show ambition.

Example: My career goal is to continue developing my skills as an art technician and eventually become a lead technician in a prestigious art gallery. I am passionate about preserving and showcasing art, and I hope to contribute to the cultural landscape of the UK through my work. Ultimately, I aim to make a positive impact in the art world and inspire others through my dedication to the craft.

Interviewers are looking for honesty, professionalism, and a positive attitude in your response. Be prepared to explain any reasons for leaving your previous job in a constructive manner.

Example: I left my last job because I was looking for new opportunities to grow and develop my skills as an art technician. I felt that I had reached a plateau in my previous role and wanted to challenge myself in a new environment. I am excited about the possibility of bringing my experience and creativity to your team.

The interviewer is looking for a clear explanation of the reasons behind your decision to change career paths. Be honest, highlight relevant skills, and show how your previous experience can benefit your new role.

Example: I decided to change career paths because I wanted to pursue my passion for art and utilize my skills in a more creative field. My previous experience in handling and maintaining art materials as an art technician has prepared me for this new role. I believe my attention to detail and organizational skills will be valuable in contributing to the success of the team.

Interviewers are looking for examples of how you stay calm and focused under pressure, such as prioritizing tasks, seeking support, or using time management skills.

Example: I handle pressure by making a to-do list and prioritizing tasks based on deadlines. If I feel overwhelmed, I'm not afraid to ask for help or delegate tasks. Time management is key for me to stay focused and meet deadlines without feeling stressed.

Interviewees can answer by acknowledging a mistake, explaining how they rectified it, and highlighting lessons learned. Interviewers are looking for honesty, accountability, problem-solving skills, and ability to learn from mistakes.

Example: Yes, I once accidentally spilled paint on a valuable piece of artwork. I immediately informed my supervisor, who helped me come up with a plan to carefully clean and restore the piece. I learned the importance of being extra cautious and double-checking my work to prevent similar mistakes in the future.

Company Research Tips

The company's official website is a goldmine of information. Look for details about the company's history, mission, and values. Pay special attention to any sections related to art or design, as this will give you insight into the company's aesthetic and creative direction. Also, check out their portfolio or projects section to understand the kind of work they do.

Tip: Don't just skim through the website. Take notes and try to understand the company's culture, work ethics, and what they value in their employees.

Social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter can provide valuable insights into the company's culture and current projects. Look for any recent updates, posts, or news related to the company. LinkedIn can be particularly useful to understand the company's structure, key employees, and recent hires.

Tip: Follow or connect with the company on these platforms to show your interest. Engage with their posts if appropriate.

Stay updated with the latest news and trends in the art and design industry. This will not only help you understand the current market scenario but also make you aware of the challenges and opportunities the company might be facing. Use platforms like Google News, industry-specific blogs, and magazines for this research.

Tip: Try to relate the industry trends with the company's work during your interview. This will show that you are well-informed and proactive.

Websites like Glassdoor provide reviews from current and former employees about the company. These reviews can give you a sense of the company's work environment, management style, and employee satisfaction. However, take these reviews with a grain of salt as they can be biased.

Tip: Look for common themes in reviews rather than focusing on individual positive or negative reviews.

Understanding the company's competitors can give you a broader view of the industry and the company's position within it. Look for the unique selling points (USPs) of the company and how they differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Tip: Use this information to show how you can contribute to the company's unique strengths and help them stay ahead of the competition.

Curveball Questions

How to respond to the silly questions where there's no right answer.

This question assesses the candidate's knowledge and appreciation of art history and their ability to articulate their thoughts and preferences. Common answers may include famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Frida Kahlo, or Vincent van Gogh. An answer that demonstrates a deep understanding of the artist's work and its impact on the candidate's own artistic practice would stand out.

Example: If I could have dinner with any artist, I would choose Yayoi Kusama. Her avant-garde approach to art and her unique perspective on the world have always inspired me. I would love to discuss her experiences with mental health and how it has influenced her work.

This question evaluates the candidate's creativity and ability to think outside the box. Common answers may include colors like blue for calmness, red for passion, or green for growth. An answer that connects the chosen color to the candidate's personality or artistic style in a meaningful way would stand out.

Example: If I were a color, I would be turquoise. Turquoise is a blend of blue and green, representing both calmness and growth. I see myself as someone who is constantly evolving and seeking new experiences, much like the ever-changing hues of turquoise.

This question assesses the candidate's ability to reflect on their own experiences and translate them into a visual form. Common themes may include growth, resilience, relationships, or personal identity. An answer that demonstrates a unique and personal interpretation of the candidate's life experiences through art would stand out.

Example: If I were to create a piece of art that represents my life, it would be a mixed-media collage. The collage would feature elements symbolizing my multicultural background, my love for nature, and my journey of self-discovery. Each layer would represent a different chapter of my life, coming together to form a cohesive and meaningful whole.

This question evaluates the candidate's preferences and commitment to a specific artistic medium. Common answers may include painting, sculpture, photography, or digital art. An answer that explains the candidate's deep connection to a particular medium and how it allows them to express their creativity in a unique way would stand out.

Example: If I could only use one art medium for the rest of my life, I would choose ceramics. Working with clay allows me to create three-dimensional forms and textures that are not possible with other mediums. The tactile nature of ceramics also brings me a sense of grounding and connection to the earth, which is essential to my artistic process.

This question assesses the candidate's curatorial skills and ability to conceptualize a cohesive art exhibition. Common themes may include identity, nature, social justice, or historical narratives. An answer that demonstrates a thoughtful and innovative approach to curating, as well as a clear rationale for the chosen theme, would stand out.

Example: If I were to curate an art exhibition, I would choose the theme of 'Art as Activism'. This exhibition would showcase works by artists who use their art as a tool for social change and political commentary. By highlighting the power of art to inspire action and provoke thought, the exhibition would challenge viewers to reconsider their perspectives on pressing issues in society.

Art degree personal statement example (1b) with advice

This is a real personal statement written by a student for their university application. It might help you decide what to include in your own. There are lots more examples in our . 

From an early age I have always had a strong interest in art, and have been involved with it in some form all through my life. In year nine I realised that it was something that I might like to pursue as a career, I started taking it more seriously. The Chase's art department encouraged me very well and helped me develop my art skills

I am currently studying Art at A-level and have had my work exhibited in a gallery and in local industry buildings as part of the 'Art in the Workplace' scheme which is organised by my college. The piece of my artwork which was displayed, and used in a business's workplace was a painting inspired by an Art Department trip to Italy. In my spare time, I enjoy running my own comedy website with my friends, which has enabled me to learn good organisational skills. Aside from art, I enjoy playing basketball with other students from my college every Wednesday afternoon. I have found this to be a welcome break from normal study, allowing me to exercise at the same time as relieving stress

My present interest in art is more graphic/typography based, although I do enjoy all areas of art. I have been designing graphics on my computers from a young age and have work published in national magazines. Not all the graphical work I do is computer based, I enjoy using traditional mediums in a clean graphical way, as I find it more satisfying working on a larger scale and producing something more"real". My current course has helped me "branch out" more; I have experimented in many disciplines successfully producing paintings, pastels and drawings, which I had never really developed fully before

I have had two part-time jobs involving computer related work, in which I have been able to bring art influences into. When working for Retail Futures, an e-commerce company based in Malvern, I designed their corporate image, and websites for clients such as Coalport and Parcel Force. More recently I have taken another job with a more technical slant, for another e-commerce firm, eplexus. I still do design work, in which I have designed websites and images for"Highwaycode.com", and Anglo Digital a successful venture capitalist firm. Alongside my practical experience, I am also studying Computing at my current college, which aids me to learn the fundamentals of computer usage and programming, an area that I am interested in

Whilst in the lower sixth, I was asked to help with an activity arranged by Shell Oil which was aimed at capturing the interest of pupils around the age of ten and eleven by involving them in scientific activities. Throughout the day I acted as a teacher for year six pupils from various junior schools. Working in a group, we had to demonstrate the building of a 'balloon boat' and then supervise the children whilst they attempted to build their own. This helped me to use my communication skills in explaining the theory behind building the boat to young people who had possibly not yet encountered that stage or type of science

Throughout my time at both school and college, I have been involved in a number of activities, and have also made an effort to maintain a good balance between this and my academic work. Being involved in and having the ability to give something back to my college has always been important to me, and it is something that I am keen to continue at College. My passion is art and I look forward to further developing my ability at foundation and degree level.

Comments on the statement:

It's an ok statement, BUTBUTBUT every art college I have went to have said "NEVER start with "from an early age" because we get it in 70% of applications and it's cliche" So try and be original
