“This course offers the unique opportunity to look at your practice differently and maybe even have a breakthrough! I really push students to get out of their comfort zone, to shatter their certainties. I want people to walk away with a new joy in their practice and a different way of looking at what they have been working on so far.”

“This course unlocked creative elements in my practice that I didn’t know were needed to push myself to the next level. With empathy and discipline, this course has completely adjusted the way I approach my work and thinking overall [...] I have made genuine connections with my cohort, thank you for bringing us all together in this virtual world!”
Short Course Participant 2021
“The RCA summer program is a game changer for me. I understood how and why I can add myself in my practice in a way that turned my thinking around, from studying painting to inter-acting in my paintings.”
Short Course Participant 2021
“I loved the fact it was online, so that I could benefit from the excellence of the RCA from my fully equipped, working studio. The level of talent and expertise of the tutors was world class, and the impact on my art practice has been staggering. This course is a prime example of why the RCA is ranked the number 1 art and design school in the world.”
Short Course Participant 2021
“The course leader Despina and her RCA team held a virtual space where you felt that you could try out new skills and ideas, fail, succeed and learn in a very inclusive, focused and genuinely friendly environment. [...] This course enabled me to select, curate and present my work with much greater confidence.”
