Young Artists Course Two Tutored by Melanie Phillips H.N.D

Course overview
In the first course we created a foundation and understanding of drawing. In this course we are now taking the young student a step further, enhancing their drawing skill and getting them to integrate creativity - thinking for them selves, new drawing skills and also introducing more colour into their artwork.

Because the young student now has a broader understanding of drawing many more subjects can now be covered in this course pushing their ability further.

As the courses progress, so will the subjects and they will become increasingly more challenging to the young student. Allow the students to work in their own time and at their own pace. Encouraging them to take time over their drawings is essential to any piece of artwork.

Critiques
Melanie provides spoken word critiques on audio cd's playable on any cd based audio system - ie a stereo system, DVD player or personal computer. Alternitively she can provide the same audio crituqe via email in mp3 format.

Support
All our courses are written to be complete in themselves. However we realise that students may appreciate being able to get clarification about various things as they work through their programme as well wanting reassurance that they are putting techniques into practice effectively. The Administration Centre is available seven days a week and the Course Artist provides the technical support to deal with relevant queries.

Most courses have their own dedicated Tutor. The Tutor keeps the course up to date and relevant to today's students. They are available to the individual student for advice and encouragement. Each course has regular exercises and assignments that are constructed in such a way as to give the student the opportunity to practice the techniques learnt on the course and to test themselves as they go along. The student is encouraged to submit the assignment work to the college for the tutor to critique. The student's work will be returned together with the tutorss personal critique. On many courses the assignment work may be suitable for inclusion in a student's Portfolio of Work that could be very useful later. The college will use the assignments submitted as the basis for any award of a Diploma or Certificate

The duration of this course is approximately 6 months.
