<p dir="ltr">We also asked Fraizer White, one of our <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/ba-hons-illustration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(BA) Hons Illustration</a> students to create a motivational piece in response to the coronavirus crisis.

"I love studying at Plymouth College of Art. The atmosphere is incredibly creative and everyone is brilliant."
<p>"This drawing was inspired by the feeling of tranquility that comes when you're in the middle of work and you've got your head stuck in it. Like, that inside motivation to <strong>just keep going</strong>.</p>
<p>I've always got my dogs with me, so I added a furry friend in there too as a little nod to them, I also think having animals to look after at this time is really helpful for staying on top of things. I have a lot of animals in my house that need looking after, so that motivates me a lot! It means I have to be up early and that means I'm up and awake and ready to start first thing in the morning."</p>
