This course is part of our Elective Skills Workshop series. You will be studying alongside students from our pre-degree and degree programmes.

This course will enable you to become more familiar with moving image and audio-visual media, its production and presentation. Through the study of contemporary and historical practitioners of video art and the creation of your own work, you will be encouraged to consider how contemporary visual culture and our familiarity with the “screen” could affect the content and presentation of a video and in turn the experience of the viewer. 

A series of practical workshops will introduce you to using a camera and post-production software. In the latter weeks of the course you will apply the skills acquired to develop a personal project under guidance from the tutors. 

By the end of the course you will be able to: 

  • Analyse the work of others, applying findings to their own work
  • Explain how cinematic devices can influence an audience’s perception
  • Create, film, record and source a variety of audio-visual media
  • Apply various video editing techniques in Premiere Pro
  • Gain an understanding of contemporary animation techniques
  • Use presentation equipment such as projectors, media players and sound equipment
  • Plan and complete a self-initiated personal project

This course is suitable for all levels wishing to develop their cross-disciplinary practice.

This course is suitable for all levels. Students can move at their own pace depending on their experience, with as much support from the Tutor as they wish.

  • Beginner

    Choose a Beginners course if you are looking for a broad introduction to the medium you are studying. Students spend time learning the very basics of the taught medium, for example, how to mix colours, use different tools, set up an easel. Our Beginner courses are suitable for students with no prior experience, they tend to follow a more structured path than our other courses, ensuring each student receives the guidance they need from the tutor.

  • Beginner +

    Choose a Beginner + course if you are looking to hone your skills, focus on a specific subject area and build your confidence. These courses are suitable for those with some basic skills in and knowledge of the taught medium, but still follow a structured path with guidance from the tutor.

  • Intermediate

    Our Intermediate courses are suitable for students who have considerable prior knowledge of the taught medium or have completed a Beginners/Beginners + course with the Art Academy.

    These courses tend to be less structured and instead are tailored to the classes’ needs and the direction they want to advance in. Choose an Intermediate course if you are looking to improve your skills and have more critical discussions around the work you produce.

  • Advanced

    Choose our Advanced courses if you have considerable knowledge in the taught medium. You are expected to be able to work independently and have critical discussions around your work.

     Our Advanced courses include our Masterclasses.

All attendees must be aged 18 or over.

Dian Joy is a British-Nigerian transdisciplinary artist who lives and practices in London, working across a variety of mediums, including video, installation, and extended reality. While conceptually rooted in the practices of Cultural Analysis, Joy remains deeply grounded in the physicality to which the experience of the subaltern is bound. Within this, special attention is paid to the intersections and interactions between technology and discourse,  employing community engagement as a qualitative research methodology within their process. Their investigation into various strategies of emancipation and exaltation has led them to exhibit across Europe both solo and as a part of BLUE, a transnational art collective they co-founded whilst living in Amsterdam. This community of artists worked digitally and transnationally to produce exhibitions, installations, performances, and club nights across Europe, and was active from 2017 to 2020. Beginning their practice working in collaboration has deeply influenced the trajectory of their solo career, enabling them to work at different scales, often with public and private institutions—such as BBC, BFI, Story Futures, and Nexus Studios.
