Learn to draw - FREE short course starts soon!

We are excited to announce another free skillset to help you develop your creative skills. This fun and very hands-on drawing course will help you develop the skills to draw what you see in front of you, and give a solid grounding in drawing skills such as the use of line, volume, shape, tone, perspective and depictions of space. You will also gain an excellent grounding in drawing the human figure.

These much-prized analogue drawing skills can be applied in a range of creative industry contexts. There are three units in this skillset, and the exciting news is that they can be used towards course completion in the Diploma of Visual Arts, and some of the units may be used to contribute to the Diploma of Photography and Photo Imaging, and the Diploma of Graphic Design.

In addition to the unit CUAACD502 Create observational drawings, you will also also gain skills in professional practice via the units CUAPPR502 Develop own sustainable practice and BSBCMM401 Make a presentation.

We are enrolling now for our Term 4 intake. This course is held on Fridays from 9am-4pm, and it will start on the 7th of October, and finish on the 25th of November. 

Our free skillsets are filling very fast, so we recommend you enrol immediately to avoid disappointment. Enrolling is easy, just follow the link below:

Ceramic Design Skillset- second group on Fridays- a few places available!

Work by an NADC student from the exhibition 'Kiln Me Softly'

Our free ceramic design skillset has proved amazingly popular- so much so we are thrilled to announce a second group has been created- this one on Fridays, starting September 16.

This course has just a few places available, and will run on Fridays from 10am-2pm for 9 weeks.

In this course you will research aspects of the history of ceramic design, and apply this research to plan & develop a small sample range of unique, handmade, commercially viable ceramic wares. You will learn to repeat cast a small ceramic bowl, and apply surface decorations, as well as develop a small cast ceramic sculpture with decorative glaze. 

You will also prototype a small piece of ceramic jewellery, and a decorated ceramic tile, learn how to use flop molds and how to apply make use of commercial and custom-made decals, like the ones in the picture above.

To secure your place, please drop the Head Teacher an email at catherine.barcan@tafensw.edu.au
