POST-COLLEGE INFO
Over 3 virtual workshop attendees will explore storyboarding, animation, and filmmaking with Senior Lecturer Katarina Sengstaken. At the end of this course, they will have created new work showcasing a range of skills and media, that can be used to show off creativity and to complement existing work, when applying to university.
No specialist equipment is required; the idea is to recycle, upcycle and repurpose materials and using everyday packaging that can be found around the home. A suggested equipment list each week will be sent out in advance.
Registration is now open, and you can find more information on the website: www.uca.ac.uk/study-at-uca/applying-to-uca/Portfolio-bootcamp/
