2. PERSONAL
PRESENTATION
My name is Maria anda I have 18 years old. I decided to
move from my home town, Paços de Ferreira, and go and
live in Porto, so that I could attend Soares dos Reis Art
School.
I have always loved to draw and create my own stories and
do illustrations using different techniques and materials.
Moreover, I am in the area of specialization Scenic Art for
the Theatre I had the opportunity of creating the costumes
and scenography for a theatre show based in illustrations I
had made.
My interests include reading, watching films and series and
practising sports. I was currently reading Origin by Dan
Brown; I also have seen a lot of series such as Game of
Thrones, Stranger Things, Peaky Blinders and many others.
I practice badminton (I used to compete) and gym because
it's good to my health and helps me to relax. Furthermore, I
play the trumpet in the Youth Symphonic Band of my
hometown, Paços de Ferreira.
I consider myself to be very persistent and perfectionist I am
really focused and I work truly hard to get over my
difficulties. My friends consider me as reliable, friendly and
a dynamic person and I think these qualities helped me to get
where I am.
I feel that studying outside my country will give me a chance
of meeting new people and discovering a different culture. I
hope it will also help me get more advantages in the world of
work because I believe that the United Kingdom has the best
universities in the world and values Art and Culture.
Additionally, I will perfect my knowledge of English while
doing what I love the most.
I am highly motivated to study Illustation and I can already
see myself in the future developing new projects in this area.
