It is essential that your independent follow up study continues, whether your studies are online or onsite. Full attendance is expected.
This summer portfolio course is the perfect way to build up a portfolio step by step over the 10 weeks, for a range of application levels, such as Foundation Course, Degree, Masters, professional development or a career change.
On the 24 Week Summer Portfolio Course, 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 lead to selecting some ideas to develop further into a few serious outcomes.
The London Art Portfolio Preparation courses are a fantastic way to meet new people in the creative arts. The 10 Week Summer Portfolio Course will not only extend your knowledge of Critical and Contextual Studies whilst deepening your understanding of historical and contemporary art and design. Drawing and research visits to Museums and contemporary art galleries in London play an important part in the LAP curriculum programme.

Portfolio Course: You will complete the course with a prepared portfolio that will present a range of hands-on drawing skills alongside 2D and 3D design skills. This is all essential for successful University and work applications. LAP students can draw and design by hand and use a range of computer-aided design programmes. Personal goals and aspirations are considered throughout.
