Art school - bridging course for scholars
Create a portfolio of work to apply for entry to an art school.
The purpose of this course is to enable grade 11 and 12 scholars with no previous art or design background to produce a portfolio of work. Each week a new topic will be discussed relating to drawing, colour theory and the relevant methods. Related projects will encourage the exploration of skills and techniques. Scholars will be able to confidently approach a drawing or painting and understand how to effectively communicate the mood.
Duration: 10 lectures
Lectures: Saturday mornings
