At the start of term BSF students enjoyed engaging and motivational presentations by Adebanji Alade from Learning Performance.
Adebanji spoke about his own background growing up in Hackney and in Nigeria and his passion for art. His constant efforts, perseverance and daily practise eventually resulted in him developing some outstanding skills and making his living as a portrait artist. See his story on http://vimeo.com/50362507 - The Life of an Artist - Urban Sketcher, Adebanji Alade
