Discourse-based sessions
Course contents (6 weeks)
This is the preferred option for those artists who already have experience in various artistic techniques and have reached the point where they would like to focus on their discourse: the concept behind the artwork.
Throughout the 6 weeks, our in-house tutors will accompany the students and guide them through their creative process, giving insightful knowledge about contemporary artists as well as artists from the 1970s to today.
During the artwork presentations, each student is allocated 30 mins to present their work and receive constructive crit from the tutors and their companions.
This is followed by a one-on-one evaluation with your tutor in which to discuss the progress your artwork and discourse.
