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