You will be taught through whole class tuition, one to one teaching, presentations, peer assessment and group
critique. This practical course involves the introduction of key concepts at the start of each session and these are developed over the course of the day. These build on the content of previous sessions and inform the development of your work in future sessions. The repetition and amplification week on week can be expected to build both proficiency and confidence as the course progresses.
