Beginners to advanced level are welcome. Monday to Thursday, 9 am – 12 noon. This is a brilliant way to meet new people, be taught new skills and explore new ideas. Free tea, coffee and condiments. Enjoy your One Week Summer Portfolio Course!

Course Outline

You will be introduced to drawing and make full use of London by maximizing the wonders of the amazing Museums and contemporary art galleries it has to offer.

You will be introduced to a range of materials, processes and techniques, which is ideal for both beginners and the more advanced client.

Much emphasis is placed on idea development and concept building. You will be given professional support throughout this process, which will then lead to the selection of some ideas to develop further into a few serious outcomes.

The 1 Week Summer Portfolio Course is a fantastic way to meet new people in the creative arts. You will also extend your knowledge in Critical and Contextual Studies learning more about historical and contemporary artists and designers.
