This is a very practical course which gives you the opportunity to experiment with both 2D and 3D art techniques.

It's the perfect way to build your portfolio if you do not have an art foundation and are thinking about further studies.

During this course you will:

- learn how to demonstrate your approach to idea generation and research skills
- take part in both group discussions and one-to-one tutorials
- be encouraged to practice new techniques and ways of working
- complete a variety of short projects in art, drawing, painting and sculpture.

What will you gain?

By the end of the course you will have a strong set of visuals. You will be able to demonstrate your ideas and research skills, and feel confident in discussing and presenting your work.
