What level class is best for me?
Level 4: Becoming a Professional Practicing Artist
The one year Level 4 course at the Insight School of Art is for painters wishing to produce a complete body of work for exhibition and gain the necessary knowledge about the business of art, to confidently launch themselves professionally as practicing artists.
Students attend one independent studio day and one tutored day each week. Tutored days include workshops, visits to locations in London, critiques and guest lecturers.
Level 3: Advanced
Students who attend level 3 classes should feel confident using paint and have a fairly clear idea of their preferred methods of working.
Each term, students take part in six individual, tutor led workshop challenges and six sessions to develop work based on their own ideas.
Students who feel that they work at a lower level than this may enrol if the time and day is the most convenient. However, workshops will be aimed at level 3 students which may not be so suitable.
Level 2: Intermediate
Students who attend level 2 classes have a basic knowledge of materials and techniques in their chosen medium.
Each term, students take part in six individual tutor led workshops and six sessions to develop work based on their own ideas.
People who are absolute beginners or who work at a higher level than this may enrol if the time and day is the most convenient. However, workshops will be aimed at level 2 students which may not be so suitable.
Level 1: Absolute Beginners
Level 1 classes are for people who have never had any previous tuition in the advertised medium. All twelve lessons are delivered as workshops; introducing basic painting techniques, subjects and knowledge, allowing students to start painting with confidence.
Every exercise on a level one course is demonstrated by the tutor before students have a go themselves.
All materials are provided for level one classes.
Most students who attend a level 1 course move on to a higher level class or try another level 1 class using a different medium.
