2 Week Summer Portfolio Course 2023

Have lots of fun creating & making!

London Art Portfolio offers a 2 week Summer Portfolio Course programme that can step-by-step build up and add to your portfolio preparation.

The 2 Week Summer Portfolio Course is an ideal way, to start working towards the preparation of your art and design portfolio, or kick start that career change you’ve always wanted. It will give you the perfect way to start a mini-portfolio project. You will be shown various stages to work through and build upon, with the help of specialist art and design tutors.

The group size is kept small to ensure high quality and focused support through this introductory 2-week summer portfolio preparation programme. This summer portfolio school will enable you to begin to create a focused portfolio. This in turn will increase your confidence and direction and help you decide which specialist area you may wish t specialise for either further or higher education, i.e. a Foundation Course in Art and Design or a Degree application.

In addition, this 2 Week Summer Portfolio Course is useful to add and enrich a school project or coursework. You will be able to utilise the skills learnt on the 2 Week Summer Course for future project development too.

Some students at London Art Portfolio follow up their two-week personal development on the Summer Portfolio Course with one-one tutorials to extend and explore their skills and techniques further. Beginners to advanced levels are welcome.
Make new creative friend from the UK and from around the world!

Course Outline

You will be introduced to drawing and make full use of London by maximising 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 more advanced clients.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about historical and contemporary artists and designers, which we embrace fully for the research of fun, innovative ideas.

On the 2 Week Summer Portfolio Course, much emphasis is placed on idea development and concept building, whilst exploring a range of art materials. You will be given professional support throughout this process. This creative kickstart is the perfect way to start building up a portfolio. Upon completion of this course, you will have increased your confidence and have more clarity as to how to start a focused portfolio project, which you need for all of your applications, for any level. Depending on availability there may be an opportunity for some students to continue their studies beyond these first 2 weeks if they wish, many students often do this. In this way, we can support you further.

NOTE

Afternoons: Students are expected to continue their morning study independently and be ready to share their work the next morning in order to receive feedback.
