About the course

This two-week Foundation Preparation Summer School develops visual, practical, and technical skills to give you the framework to build a varied collection of work that demonstrates your strengths, creativity and interests.

 

Over ten days, you will be led through a series of structures, workshops and short projects, to help you become confident in fundamental aspects of all Foundation specialisms, including drawing, idea generation, visual research, thinking through making, and collective discussion.

 

The course is taught by experienced tutors and is a thorough introduction to our approach, ethos, and studio culture.

 

We will work through a range of conceptual, research-driven and materials-focused processes and activities that will enable you to articulate your ideas, document them, and present them clearly and concisely.

 

Experienced Foundation tutors will demonstrate how skills learnt can be applied to projects outside this short course, and to select work for applications and portfolios.

 

The course ends with a collective showcase of work produced across the two weeks in our Foundation studios.
