You will make art as an artist does and develop your projec t from its conceptual beginning to its physical end. The course will help you develop a deeper understanding of art and how as practitioners we thin k and realise work.\n\nThis course provides skill based learning in order to deepen the understanding and applications of the visual language that s urrounds us.
