About the course

This Portfolio course at Leitrim School of Art is a high quality course delivered by tutors with an excellent success rate in students achieving access to art schools in Ireland, and the UK. 

The course provides students with an opportunity to work to a level equivalent to first year undergraduate Art School courses, or in developing skills as a working artist, and for those seeking employment in the creative sector.

 Two courses will run with the option of  daytime or evening classes over a  20-week period.  They begin in November – April finishing just prior to Art School interview dates.  (further information and expressions of interest see below)

Students are encouraged to explore ideas through a number of processes like drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, jewellery, fashion, textiles, graphic design, product design, architecture, digital photography and image manipulation, and an introduction to film making and animation. Students are encouraged to sign up to life drawing classes offered throughout the year.
