Creating a Project Portfolio for 16 to 18 Year Olds

Topics covered

• You will be asked to research your surroundings by photographing, drawing and making collage.
• You will be encouraged to turn that research into wonderful ideas and concepts towards the creation of outstanding fashion collections, products and works of art.
• All your ideas and findings will be narrowed down and clear threads will start to emerge. This will establish the direction that your project will take.
• With the aid of one-to-one advice and group tutorials, you will really examine and push your work to maximize results.
• We will visit some of London's most magnificent, bizarre and exciting museums, galleries and curiosities.
• You will hear from industry researchers who work for some of the biggest creative companies.
• We will get the opportunity to view professional portfolios to inspire different ways of getting your focused research into your sketchpad or 'presentation' of choice.

By the end of the course you should have a full body of work with designs. This will hopefully be the beginning of a continuing process of development of your portfolio. You will have created a full and exciting sketchpad, including illustrations, collages and 3D design mock-ups for future expansion.
