Chloe Leung
【From Chamberlain
institute (West Kowloon) to UAL LCC】
My name is Chloe and I am a student at Chamberlain
Institute (West Kowloon). I have received three offers from UAL LCC including
Design for Art Direction, Design Management, and Advertising. I feel very
honoured to have received three offers from my top choice of college, LCC, and
am very excited to study my top choice of subject, Design for Art Direction. I
want to study in UAL as it is a highly regarded Art University with good
industry connections. I have done projects with concepts and themes such as
parasocial relationships, fate, identity, censorship. All my inspirations come
from my interest in K-pop and societal issues I aim to address.
I found out
about Chamberlain as I searched “UAL HK” online and Chamberlain came up as
UAL’s Hong Kong representative. I chose Chamberlain because I believed they
could help me get into my top university choice. The foundation course helped
me prepare my portfolio as it provided me with the opportunity to work on
projects that would end up in my portfolio. The teachers helped me by engaging
in conversations about my ideas and providing more input into what I can further
explore as well as giving professional guidance in certain areas such as
photography.
My biggest challenge in Chamberlain was getting to
know people at the beginning of the course as I am quite an introverted person
and had difficulty communicating due to language barriers (I studied at Harrow
International School Hong Kong before). I overcame this and was able to make
friends as I slowly adapted to communicating with them and my language skills
has also improved. I had a fun experience at Chamberlain Institute as work was
stress-free for the most part and could freely express my ideas in an artistic
manner. If I didn’t join the course, I wouldn’t have been able to meet the
friends that I know now and would have felt like I didn’t have much of a
community. I also wouldn’t have known that I wanted to study art direction and
would’ve probably applied for graphic design instead. My biggest piece of
advice for future students of Chamberlain is to be bold. Don’t be afraid to try
something new or think that your ideas are too complex to carry out or that no
one understands what you’re trying to achieve because you are the artist and as
long as you’re able to justify your choices then do it, there’s no right or
wrong in art. In the future, I hope to work as a creative director in the
entertainment industry.
