print by NADC graduate Elaine Watson

A wonderful opportunity to explore creative approaches to colour printmaking is coming up in January, in the form of our fully government subsidised printmaking intensive.

Join us   for a  short  course  working with  colour in predominantly  relief  printmaking. We  will be looking at  traditional  approaches  to  multiple colour prints  and  also  experimental techniques. 

The course  is for  beginners  and  intermediate  printmakers with little colour printing  experience.  You can  work from  plates  you  have  already  made  or  make them  during the  course.

This  course is structured as an intensive, and runs over two weeks on 17/01/2017 to 20/01/2017 and 23-25 Jan, and Jan 27, 2017 .

Classes run from 10am-3pm over these two weeks. The course is held in the printmaking facilities, T Block Nepean College.

Our fully government subsidised courses fill very fast, so we recommend you register immediately to avoid disappointment. Please register via the link below. 

Alternatively, call 131 870 to register.

Please bring a note book and pen, and wear covered shoes, and report to your first class at 9am on Tuesday Jan 17.

Intensive drawing course starts next week!

Improve your drawing skills and get credit towards your diploma of visual arts!

We are excited to announce another short taster course 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 course, 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 registering now for our intensive course which starts next week. This course is held on from 9am-4pm, and it will run every day Jan 17-20, and Jan 23- 25, and Jan 27, 2017.

It will also be offered as an 8 week course, running on Fridays from 9am-4pm commencing Jan 10, 2017 and finishing on March 31, 2017.
