تفاصيل الدورة

We attend the NCAD and discuss the brief with the tutors responsible so we REALLY understand the requirements!

Portfolio Courses run, though students may attend on a daily basis if they wish to simply ‘top-up’ their existing portfolio. The studio is a large, bright and warm room so students will be encouraged to work long days and evenings (fully supervised) to complete the work. This intensive portfolio course gives the student a brief glimpse into what will be expected of them at college level, so if they don’t ‘cut the mustard’ here or have second thoughts about their career – then art college isn’t for them! Better to find out now than to commit to a year-long course. I teach drawing and painting and have worked as an illustrator in London and have advised students and professional artists on portfolio preparation, presentation and professional practice. Regarding putting a portfolio together it depends on what area of art interests you – no point attending a year-long mix media portfolio course that covers animation, photography, sculpture, etc. when you just want to study fashion. All art colleges (even architectural) require good drawing skills that show you have a basic grasp of observational drawing, composition, colour and bags of ideas. This course will encompass all of these things.

This course has been designed to not only help you understand this (for some students) bewildering brief and it’s requirements, but will motivate and stimulate your creative thought. It will inspire you to make things from found objects, take numerous reference photographs, be visually aware, to explore everyday items – be excited by the mundane and, above all, be inspired and absorbed by your drawing. This is a conceptual brief, so our exercises are devised to act as springboards that encourage you to explore and experiment. You will begin to understand ways of thinking and drawing that suit you and discover materials and processes that help you produce the work.
