Summer Discovery
Adolescence can be a tough time - ask any adult. At the very time when you are struggling with self-confidence and trying to find out who you are, you are pushed through the most difficult examinations of your life. Let ALLMINDS help prepare you to make the right choices.
To find out what you are best at and how you can achieve your ambitions there is no better place to start than with ALLMINDS Summer Learning run from Webster University. Let us help you identify your passion, develop your study skills and unleash your creativity whilst having a cool and enjoyable time with friends.
The ultimate in learning experiences, the programme includes introductions to drawing, painting, photography, fashion illustration, 3D and much more. The work will include investigation into context through cultural and historical research linked to Art History and oral crits. Participants will hone their ideas whilst developing their skills of interaction and presentation. Participants will also produce a working journal and put on a collective exhibition open to the public.
As a participant, you will enjoy a high level of interaction, guidance and hands-on demonstrations with the ALLMINDS' coaching staff, all of whom are practising professionals in their fields.
Many studies suggest that it takes around 10,000 hours (or roughly 10 years') practice to get really good at something. Let us help you identify your strengths and needs, and start that process now with the ALLMINDS SUMMER DISCOVERY experience, where we will foster:
- adaptability and flexibility
- ability to listen and communicate
- skill at building teams and relationships
- patience and persistence
- curiosity and open-mindedness.
ALLMINDS' learning provides you with access to a comprehensive learning experience including, a supportive peer-group, comfortable studio facilities and expert coaching, all within a supportive and friendly environment. We will be using the superb facilities at Webster University, easily accessible by train via Bellevue station, or there is ample parking if your parents prefer to drive.
The course is primarily practical and delivered in English. All materials, coaching and access to the facilities are included in the price. Places are limited to reserve yours now by registering now.
