INSIGHTS AND OVERVIEWS: THE PRACTICE OF A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST  is conducted in association with the Arnoldii Design Commission programme. The courses under this section will explore the practicalities of art production and fine art techniques from the perspective of an artist. The courses follow the journey from art concept to production and presentation allowing participants direct personal contact with the artist and artworks. The course will also explore the role of research, history and socio-political influence in art making and will provide participants with knowledge to identify and comprehend techniques and materials used in selected fine art objects including works on paper, prints and photography.
