The ability to recognise personal strengths and learn from the examples of other Artists is important also.
Who is this subject intended for:
This subject would suit those students who are interested in the Visual Arts and who are keen to develop their skills while completing a significant body of work. Students need to have good work habits and be prepared to develop their own creativity while following a structured programme.
