Fine Art
What to expect on the day
Who will I meet?
Your Applicant Day will be run by Jonty Lees, Fine Art BA(Hons) Course Leader, unless you visit us on 28 February when the day will be run by Senior Lecturer Duncan Cameron.
What will I be doing at the Applicant Day?
You'll be invited to take part in a drawing exercise that spans the duration of the workshop, exploring drawing skills such as line, shape, form and scale using a variety of drawing materials. You'll also be able to keep any work produced in the workshop.
During the session you'll have the opportunity to get to know our course team, find out more about how the course is delivered and have all your questions answered.
This is a drop-in session, so if you have other commitments on the day, such as your interview, you can come and go as you wish.
Illustration sessions
What to expect on the day
During the afternoon of your Applicant Day, you'll be met by one of our Student Ambassadors and introduced to the Illustration BA(Hons) Course Leader, Nigel Owen. Nigel will then lead you through a series of taster sessions designed to give you an insight into what it's like to be an Illustration student at Falmouth
Taster sessions and timings
- 13:30 - 14:30: Ideas Generation Lecture
- 14.30 - 15.30: Media Experimentation Workshop
- 15.30 -16.30: Alternative Bookbinding Workshop
The sessions will take place in the Second Year Illustration Studio, so you'll get a good sense of the studio culture at Falmouth. All of the materials that you will need will be provided.
These drop-in sessions have been designed so that you'll be able to leave if you have an allocated interview slot on that day and re-join the taster session afterwards. You'll leave with a small sample book of media experiments that you have made during the afternoon and a new awareness of how to generate visual ideas.
This session differs from a conventional Open Day experience as it will give you a real sense of what it's like to be an Illustration student at Falmouth. It will focus on the two core components of the course, Ideas Generation and Media & Markmaking, within our amazing Illustration studios. It will also be an opportunity for you ask the course leader questions about the course or the subject of illustration more broadly.
