The expected duration of this course is approximately 6 months although the college allows students up to one year to complete their studies.
This course is suitable for students with previous experience in drawing and painting.
Students are able to upload their artwork to the 'The Art Room' on our website. Each student is
given a unique username and password on enrolment for their own private area in
The Art Room.
Students can upload their artwork for the tutor to collect and
critique. The tutor will then upload feedback for the student to download. If
you do not have facilities to upload your artwork, you can mail your artwork to
the tutors centre and receive your artwork back with your critique.
It is essential you label all
packages/artwork with your student number.
All our courses are written to be your comprehensive guide into
each of their subject matters. We understand that students appreciate
clarification about various aspects of their work from a course tutor, whom
provide reassurance that techniques are put into practice effectively.
Each courses has its own dedicated Tutor. The tutor keeps the
course up to date and relevant to today's students. They are available to the
individual student for advice and encouragement. Each course has regular
exercises and assignments that are constructed in such a way as to give the
student the opportunity to practice the techniques learnt on the course and to
test themselves as they go along. Students are encouraged to submit the
assignment work to the college for the tutor to critique.
Coursework can be submitted online, as digital photographs, in your individual art room account and the tutor will upload their critique for you to download and retain forever.
On many courses the assignment work may be suitable for inclusion in a student's Portfolio of Work that could be very useful later. The college will use the assignments submitted as the basis for your award of a certificate.
On successful completion of this course you will have studied new skills and gained knowledge for your own enjoyment and development.

Below are a few images from the course.
I have really enjoyed the Sci-Fi/Fantasy course. I have learnt how to translate ideas into finished work, how to create compositions and how to frame them. I have also learnt how to use various materials from ink to gouache. I have also gained a lot of confidence and not to be afraid to try new things. I have already begun to use my new skills to create my own graphic novel. The tutor John Byrne has been encouraging and supportive. The feedback to my assignments have been constructive and has helped me progress further. I asked for advice about working in comics and publishing and the advice I received has been extremely helpful. I am sad the course has come to an end. I am Autistic and struggle with socialising and leaving the house. The London Art College has really been a wonderful way for me to learn and grow as an artist.
I really enjoyed this course, it has improved my art and work a lot, and John is a fantastic tutor. I now need to look at which course to do next. - Thank you ever-so-much.
