DESIGNS ON NATURE

Media Studies and The Science of Art

This weekend course investigates innovative designs, how work is laid out for marketing a service or product and how suitable artwork can be sourced from naturally-occurring resources without diving into a clip-art gallery!  The ability to draw is not essential or required!

Participants will create a company logo by drawing inspiration and materials from the locality, adapting them with a range of artistic mediums.  The design will then be incorporated into a portfolio of stationery for a company – letterhead, business card, compliments slip and brochure.

Students develop the skill to create visually appealing material, avoiding the pitfalls often found in printed media.

At the end of the course, your parents will be the company directors and it will be your task to present and sell your portfolio to them!
