The final session will be a whole group workshop in which the children may be asked to work on various games, improvisations and sketches together.

From the portfolios they receive, a shortlist of candidates will be drawn up and invited to attend a workshop.The morning will consist of an interview with a member of the department where candidates will have the opportunity to discuss their work and interest in Art. There will be two set tasks where candidates can demonstrate their talents in observational drawing, imagination and three dimensional skills.
