A physics student with an artistic flair
Engineering Physics student Beth Foster caught our eye when her whiteboard "doodles" of famous physicists were deemed so good no one wanted to erase them!
Academic staff and students in the Department of Physics were very impressed by Beth's portraits of Professors Brian Cox and Albert Einstein, lovingly rendered in marker pens...although Beth usually works with paint!
The quick sketches of two famous scientists were such a welcome addition to the Department, that they were left on the board for everyone to see.
Beth explains:
Beth's latest commission has come from her 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 family, however. When the School of Science found out about her paintings, they commissioned her to paint a large portrait of Emmy Noether, the famous German mathematician and physicist. The finished piece will be hung in the Department of Physics for the start of the new academic year.
She says:
The 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 Family
Beth already has a strong family connection to the University. Both of her parents graduated from 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 in 1982 (her mum from Art and Design, her dad from Electrical and Electronic Engineering).
Physics at 新澳门彩历史开奖记录
Beth says studying Engineering Physics at 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 has helped her discover new interests in different areas and industries - and opened up career possibilities she had never considered before!
A great experience
Beth is full of praise for the wide variety of extracurricular activities available at 新澳门彩历史开奖记录, including our famous sporting opportunities! She enjoyed having everything "at her fingertips on campus" and being able to watch her friends perform at jazz and dance nights, as well as trying new activities herself.
Artist at work!
Despite everything else she's had going on, Beth has found plenty of time to pursue her love of painting. In addition to her portraits of friends and family (pets included!), she was recently selected to compete in ARTBATTLE London against 11 other artists in the UK! This was a live, against-the-clock painting challenge in front of an audience...
We wish Beth all the success with these competitions - and we can't wait to see her 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 commission take pride of place in the Physics department. Ultimately, Beth's story shows that whatever your course and whatever your talents and interests, there are always opportunities to shine. Everyone becomes part of "the 新澳门彩历史开奖记录 Family"!
