Fine Art

Looking at the work of painter Neil Gall we will develop drawing and paintings based on found objects. Using and reusing found materials to create works of art. This will build your critical thinking around sustainability in the arts and create a positive contribution to the art world.
Fashion, Design and Promotion

Graphic Design
Campaign for change!
Take your first steps in design to create an ecological campaign based on what you want to say about sustainability. You'll use typography and messaging to create dynamic designs that push the creative process, bringing your message about the future of sustainability to life.
Explore the graphic design through concept to creation using various printing techniques to create bold and playful graphics that have the chance to change the world.
Illustration and Design
From Bin to Brush
Make Your Own Art Materials using wastepaper and recycled materials and use them to paint and draw. During the workshop we will show you how to create brushes and pens from household objects, as well as drawing pads from wastepaper. We'll then sketch and paint using your newly made art materials, which you will be able to take away with you.
