Taster Sessions

If you choose to study an Arts, Design and Media foundation programme at BCUIC, you will get to work with many different materials and experiment with a range of techniques.

Bhavik Sharma, lead Art Tutor, has recorded some taster sessions that allow you to start practising at home using common, everyday resources.
