You will make art as an artist does and deve lop your project from its conceptual beginning to its physical end. The co urse will help you develop a deeper understanding of art and how as practi tioners we think and realise work.\n\nThis course provides skill based lea rning in order to deepen the understanding and applications of the visual language that surrounds us.
