Ryan Isaac
Art and Design Extended Diploma “I enjoy the freedom of this course. You can do whatever takes your fancy and I feel I’m completely in control of my work. As well as this, the Art Barns are open outside traditional hours, meaning that you can come in and work on projects in your own time should you wish.
The course has given me the opportunity to do commissions. I have sold work through commissions using skills I have developed whilst on this course. There has also been countless opportunities to go on trips to different galleries and other art institutions, all of which has helped to broaden my understanding of art.”
