A HAMPSHIRE student has been offered a place at prestigious school of art.

Jonah Alexander is the Eastleigh College student who has been accepted at the world-famous Slade School of Fine Art at University College London (UCL).

Jonah is currently finishing his Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Eastleigh College, before moving to London in September.

The Slade School of Fine Art makes a significant contribution to contemporary art, on both a national and international basis.

Jonah said: “I felt so happy, I can’t believe this has happened to me. I’m excited to do more oil painting, especially on a larger scale, and possibly also more film photography and film making”.
