DIPPING YOUR TOE INTO THE WATER

To the disillusioned out there, change is possible! Every year we accept mature age students into the course from varied backgrounds who dream of fulfilling their creative urges but just don't know where to start. For them it is all about putting a toe in the water... building skills and confidence, getting exposed to the rich world of art & design and avoiding the preclusive costs of higher education.

At NCAT Folio Preparation we are working on a brand new course NCAT Create for those of you out there who want to build skills in art and or design but cannot currently afford the time to study full time. NCAT Create will be one or two semester based (14 weeks per semester), two days per week combining new media, drawing (optional) digital design & visual arts, with the option of doing the full 30 week Folio Preparation course down the track. 

Stay tuned people, change is possible!

THE NCAT COMMUNITY OPEN DAY

Portrait Drawing Workshop

The NCAT Folio Preparation staff were thrilled with the response to our recent community open day.

It was fantastic to see so many current and past students support us by coming along and participating in our creative workshops, which included portrait drawing sessions where anyone could pose (or draw), an illustration wall and badge making. 

Sample folios from past students were on display as was an exhibition of current and past NCAT Folio Preparation student work.

We loved being in the new Trade Training Centre for the day and really enjoyed putting our creative touch to it! What an extraordinary space it is.

Visual Arts Badge Making workshop

The day gave the community the chance to have a look inside the TTC and see what goes on inside a Senior Secondary College that specializes in both the Arts & Technologies. It became clear that the mix of Arts & Technology is a good one when the community saw what amazing facilities are available, including laser & vinyl cutters, CNC cutter, instrument making facilities to name a few.
