About

Along with tutors, you will develop skills in colour theory, perspective/composition, drawing, stencil, lettering, painting, materials/processes and basic photography.

There is a possibility of a supervised visit as part of the class around the Glen Innes Shopping Squre just opposite Te Oro.

Through the course, students will be encouraged to communicate their ideas and messages through the development of visual language skills and techniques.

Class will be split into teaching and free time. New students will also be provided with a take home visual diary to encourage the development of their art and ideas outside of class.
