The Course

This course encourages students to make a personal, visual response to the world they live in, through the acquisition of skills in a variety of areas eg: painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture.

From first hand experience the student is expected to research, analyse and investigate a given theme; to keep a personal sketch book and to place their work in an historical, critical or environmental context.
