TAILOR-MADE TRAINING For more information and to view examples of subject areas for Tailor-Made courses please visit: www.chelsea.arts.ac.uk/shortcourses /tailor-made-training

The University of the Arts London has a growing reputation for the work it does with its associated industries and has an unrivalled base of creative knowledge and expertise available to business, not just creative business but all businesses. Many organisations choose to send individuals on one of our Short Courses that are scheduled throughout the year as evening, Saturday or intensive daytime courses so they can fit around busy work commitments. However, we’re also able to create a bespoke course for companies who have a number of delegates with similar training needs. Courses can either be selected from our Short Course portfolio, or adapted and customised for particular training needs. So whether it is to stimulate creativity in the workplace or for more practical purposes, we can tailor a course to meet the needs of your company or team. The timing and venue can be determined according to your business needs.

Marketing and Communication Training

Programmes And Tours

Team-Building Days

We tailor make study programmes and tours for study groups of students from overseas educational institutions — anything from a one day course to two-week courses in specialist subject areas — popular subjects, include Interior Design, Fashion, Graphic Design, Letterpress, and Art History. We harness the expertise and resources of three world-class colleges, not forgetting London’s museums, galleries and exhibitions.

Many businesses and organisations recognise the importance of teamwork and look for opportunities to stretch their employees’ horizons in new ways. Designed for up to 12 people we can construct a day in which your team can work creatively together. The focus can be artistic: drawing/painting/design or business related, for example, Promoting ourself and Your Ideas, or Managing Creativity in Design. 8

For Programmes and Tours, Tailor-Made Training and Team Building days contact: Mary Kiely Business Development Manager T: +44 (0)20 7514 6560 E: ccwtraining@arts.ac.uk

Case Study: Sungshin Women’s University

We have expanded our marketing and communication range of courses. See page 35 for full course descriptions. All of the courses can be run privately for your own group of staff.

In August 2011, a group of Korean students visited London and Chelsea College of Art & Design to participate in a Tailor-Made Fine Art Summer School. The programme provided the students with a safe and creative environment in which to experience the exciting world of art and design, as well as see a bit of London! One of the students told us afterwards, “I really liked the group demonstrations and the explanations in the galleries. The individual time that we got to spend with the tutor was really useful. We had a great time”.

Tailor-Made Training We have a growing reputation for working with our associated industries. But our creative knowledge and expertise can be applied to any kind of business. Many organisations send their people on our established Short Courses. But we’re often asked to create Tailor-Made Short Courses for groups of people from the same company. You can either choose courses from our scheduled Short Courses or we can customise a course to suit the training needs of your team.

Case study

‘With a toddler to look after half the week, I chose Chelsea modular courses in Interior Design as they gave me the discipline of tuition alongside the flexibility of home study. I also thought it was great value for money. Whilst studying all three modules, I did Technical Drawing and Vectorworks, which complemented my learning. I gained excellent workplace knowledge and, with the guidance of my tutors, left with a portfolio good enough to get work experience in a prestigious London interior design firm. I’m now planning to start my own business and take on freelance work.’ J. Hodgson-Barker.

Course Detail Grammatical rules change over time and, even if you were given a good grounding at school, it’s easy to become confused. Working through a series of exercises with your tutor, you will recap the basics and tackle a number of the tricky issues of grammar that arise when writing. editing or proofreading. The emphasis is on practical correction skills rather than esoteric debate, but the course is certainly useful to those who have to justify their grammatical decisions to others. Course Outcomes You will re-discover the hard-and-fast rules, but also learn to recognise situations in which the use of language is simply a matter of choice or house style.

Watercolour Painting

Colour Workshop

Experimental Drawing & Painting

Contemporary Painting

Who should attend

Ideal for those who’ve never painted before or who already have some experience of painting at home. Afterwards, you may choose to move on to a more advanced course.

Aimed at artists, architects, designers and anyone who has an interest in using colour in their work.

Anyone with prior experience in Art & Design who is keen to express themselves and their ideas through the medium of painting.

Course Detail

The aim of each study session is to develop an eye for colour through observation and articulation, and a deeper understanding of its role as a visual tool. The workshop is, therefore, not about theory but increasing perception and visual sensitivity. Concentrating on the perceptual colour work of Joseph Albers, we will encourage you to experiment and deepen your understanding through studies and exercises. You’ll look at interaction, visual mixtures and how colour can create the impression of light. “In an age in which increased human sensibility has become such an obvious need in all areas of human involvement, colour sensitivity and awareness can constitute a major weapon against forces of insensitivity and brutalisation.” Joseph Albers.

Course Detail

Course Outcomes

You’ll leave with a renewed appetite for, and confidence in, your work thanks to your experiences and the benefit of other people’s points of view.

However it’s important to stress this is not a ‘directed’ course. Course Outcomes

Course Detail On this course you’ll enjoy the freedom to experiment with your painting and use a wide variety of materials, whilst benefiting from the active support and encouragement of a practicing visual artist. Although you’ll use mostly acrylic and oil paint to create a painting from still life in a free and experimental way, any other forms of staining or mark making are greatly encouraged. There’s plenty of time for group discussion and reflection, too, on topics ranging from drawing and form through to colour. We will also demonstrate canvas preparation, paint application, colour mixing and some of the essentials of the painting process. Attention will be given to individual skills and needs to help develop them. Course Outcomes You will have developed the confidence to formulate ideas and concepts, using a range of materials and mediums to create a successful painting from scratch. You will be ready to move on to further visual arts courses at intermediate or advanced level.
