Over the course of the year, Artists will be challenged to push their boundaries, think about how they approach their practice, develop ideas and sustain bodies of work. If you feel you need to shake things up and push your work to the next level – this course is for you!
The first term will have a number of guided projects to challenge the way you think about your work and help push you, achieving things you didn’t know you were capable of! These will include a drawing project, a large scale site specific project, a collaborative project and an artist book project. There will be an emphasis on analysing how you work, identifying goals and ‘upping the anti’ of your work as an Artist.
