This year, VCUarts Qatar – a Qatar Foundation partner university – is offering free taster sessions in graphic design, interior design, fashion design and painting and printmaking for members of the public interested in exploring the university’s art and design community classes.
Held by VCUarts Qatar’s Community Education Programme twice a year, the classes are for those keen to pick up skills in art and design as a hobby, or who would like to enhance their creative practice for career purposes. The programme covers courses in different disciplines, to fit various interests, levels of skill, and age groups.
The free taster sessions will be held online in September, following which participants can choose from an array of individual courses that will be held in person at VCUarts Qatar from October 12 to December 7. All classes are scheduled at or after 5.30pm. However, based on evolving government rules and regulations, all classes may be shifted online. The taster sessions and courses are led by professional artists and designers, including VCUarts Qatar alumni.
“This year, we’re delighted to be able to offer free taster sessions to members of the public,” Aysha AlKhooheji, programme ,manager for Community and Continuing Education said. “This means that participants now have the luxury of gaining an overview of graphic design, interior design, fashion design and painting and printmaking, a few weeks before choosing specialised individual programmes.”
