Individual Drawing Classes for Prospective Art Students

Prepare for your entrance examination to a higher education art programme with focused, practical drawing lessons designed to develop your artistic skills, confidence and creative portfolio.

The course is aimed at students applying to art universities and higher education institutions who need to prepare for an entrance examination in drawing and develop a portfolio that showcases their artistic abilities.

Course Programme

The classes will focus on developing essential drawing skills and preparing students for the requirements of art school entrance examinations.

1. Observational Drawing

  • Still life drawing – composition, proportions, light, shadow and tonal values.

  • Portrait drawing – facial proportions, structure, expression and individual features.

  • Figure and anatomical drawing – human anatomy, body proportions, structure, movement and gesture.

2. Portfolio Development

  • Guidance on selecting and developing portfolio pieces.

  • Practical assignments exploring different drawing techniques and approaches.

  • Development of individual artistic style and visual language.

  • Advice on presenting and organising a professional art portfolio.

  • Preparation of work according to the requirements of the chosen art university or programme.

3. Entrance Examination Preparation

  • Exercises based on typical art school entrance examination tasks.

  • Developing accuracy, observation, composition and drawing speed.

  • Learning how to approach unfamiliar drawing assignments.

  • Regular feedback and individual guidance to identify areas for improvement.

Course Structure and Commitment

I recommend a minimum of one 2-hour session per week.

The exact intensity and structure of the course will depend on how much time remains before the entrance examination and the student's current drawing level.

In addition to the weekly classes, students will receive an extensive programme of homework and independent drawing exercises. Regular practice between sessions is essential for making progress and achieving the level required for admission.
