UAL International Summer School for 16 to 18 year olds Short Course
Course description
Course overview
The UAL International Summer School for 16 to 18 year-olds is a fun and intensive three-week summer course designed to improve skills and techniques through creativity, experimentation and collaboration. The course will provide a chance to help build a portfolio for further study, experience art college life and meet like-minded individuals.
The course offers students with a keen interest in art and design a unique opportunity to learn in an art school environment. Students will create work inspired and informed by London's rich cultural and social diversity, as they engage in a series of art and design projects.
Structured in a similar way to a foundation course in art and design, you'll be get support and guidance in building and creating work for a portfolio. You'll be encouraged to learn new skills, progress existing skills and express your ideas through discussions with your tutors and fellow students.
