Through the centuries artists have responded to the experience of war through art. Through illustrated lectures and discussions, this day-school will explore art as a historical document and a means of personal expression. It will examine the role of the official war artist in 20th century conflicts. Finally students will reflect upon the nature of the war memorial with examples of modernist monuments which have challenged convention.

No camera and no previous experience of photography are required for this hands on creative course. Pinhole photography (photography without a lens) is one of the simplest and most creative forms of photography. In this one day workshop you will be introduced to photographic principles and then go on to make your own pinhole camera. Using photographic paper you will create black and white images and develop them in the University darkroom. Under supervision from an experienced tutor this will be an exciting, creative and informative day.

Graphic Design is a form of visual communication and is part of everyone’s daily life. It informs, stimulates, identifies and attracts attention. Graphics can be printed onto T-shirts, broadcasted on TV, viewed on-line or printed onto paper. They can make you laugh, cry or even go to war. This day school offers you an introduction to Graphic Design delivered by an international, award-winning designer/art director with over 30 years of industrial experience gained working in London, Europe and the USA. All you will need is the desire to create, a pencil, an eraser and some sheets of A4 paper.
