THE BIGGER PICTURE

A direction worth
exploring.

Find new ways to express yourself through visual, performing and applied arts. Make room for experimentation.

Who this pathway is for

For beginners discovering a creative discipline and developing makers who want a clearer voice, process or portfolio.

WHAT YOU COULD EXPLORE

Ideas with
real-world relevance.

01Drawing, painting and visual expression+

Study observation, composition, colour and visual storytelling. Develop a process through studies and experiments, not just finished pieces.

02Graphic design, photography and video+

Explore the relationship between an idea, an audience and a visual medium. Build a small body of work and learn to explain your creative decisions.

03Music, movement and performing arts+

Investigate rhythm, expression, presence and collaboration. Specific disciplines and workshop formats are discussed with the academy.

04Fashion, craft and applied design+

Connect material, function and form. Explore how a sketch becomes a considered object, garment or practical design response.

AN ILLUSTRATIVE PRACTICE BRIEF

Make an idea tangible.

Choose a theme and explore it in three different ways: a drawing, an image sequence, a design or a performance study. Keep your sketches and reflections alongside the final work.

A starting exercise to explore the field; not an assessed course assignment.

Make it
your next chapter.

Tell us about your experience, your goals and the time you would like to dedicate to learning. The academy can then discuss relevant options and confirm course details with you.
