Drawing and Painting

Explore and practise the fundamentals of painting and drawing in this part-time BTEI course which walks students through the properties of colour, light, form, line, texture found in the age-old mediums of Painting and Drawing. Through experimental techniques and intuitive processes students will build their creative identities through an appreciation of traditional and contemporary modes and materials of painting.

This course is perfect if you are returning to learning with ambitions to pursue Level 5/ 6 or higher education; or if you always wanted to explore your creative impulses but never got the opportunity.

The course will support students in making successful applications to full-time QQI level 5 and 6 courses like our Portfolio Preparation Level 5 and Advanced Portfolio Preparation Level 6 full-time programmes.

G Suite for Education is a powerful communication and collaboration solution, which offers best-in-class productivity tools built for teaching and learning. Each student receives a free, unlimited cloud storage, professional G Suite account to support their learning throughout their time at GSA.
