Course details
Your childs’ education and safety is paramount. Rest assured, students will be staying in a safe and secure environment (we hold Public Liability and Accident Insurance Cover for each student). Full board accommodation is provided by a friendly, family run guest house situated across the road from the studio (see link to Clareville House) where they will enjoy the best attention and home cooked meals (please let us know in advance if your child has any special dietary requirements).
Our building is a purpose built studio designed to facilitate over 12 students and is fully equipped with arts reference library, easels, tables and most artist quality materials are provided.
If your child is applying to NCAD do not expect him/her to return from this course with a portfolio full of highly polished finished drawings – the NCAD brief is about ideas, analysis and project development. I also teach an ‘After School Study Group’ for students taking Leaving Cert Art, which is an ideal time to coincide with a portfolio course. This will give your child time to start thinking seriously about their work and will give them an opportunity to mix with other like-minded students.

About My Art Class
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.
