Portfolio Course Emphasises Good Practice - Art, Craft and Design

After six months of intensive work in the studio, workshops, lecture theatre and in sketchbooks - students of Art, Craft and Design are beginning the process of attending interviews for 3rd level colleges and making decisions about staying at CSN for Level 6 courses.

Art, Craft and Design at Level 5 facilitates students coming from Leaving Certificate, world of work, individuals changing careers, people re-training in studio areas after a period of raising families and travelling - providing a skills-based course tailored for the serious art student.

Level 6 Painting with Business is in the preparatory stages - with an eye to running an enhanced "skills-building" course, for the serious art student who wants additional training in preparation for professional practice or to attend 3rd level college with a broader base of specialisation.

CSN offers on-line applications via the college website: www.csn.ie Early interviews will be help in March and May 2011. An exhibition of work from all courses in the Art and Design Department will open in late May - to showcase the work completed this year.
