Nurture your creativity this summer!
Art allows us to appreciate the beauty in the human experience and make sense of the chaos; it makes us human. Express the inexpressible and reach the meanings other subjects can’t access by immersing yourself in the arts at a top summer school in Oxford, Cambridge or London this summer. Choose Fine Art and discover painting, sculpture and photography, or branch out into the exciting worlds of Fashion or Music Production. Understand the meaning behind every brushstroke in Art History, or explore Film Studies and learn about screenwriting, storyboarding and digital editing whilst making your own short film. Try your hand at challenging writing techniques in Creative Writing whilst taking inspiration from the spectacular surroundings known for nurturing some of the world’s best writers - such as Tolkein in Oxford or C.S. Lewis in Cambridge.
The creative industries are now the fastest growing economy in the UK (creativity is the one thing robots will always lack!), so pursuing the arts isn't only an act of passion, it’s also a smart career choice. Become an artist, author, fashion designer or film director (and many summer courses include networking events or workshops on breaking into these highly-coveted industries) or think outside the box and apply your valuable creativity to any profession at all - it’s innovation that drives our world forward! As Steve Jobs liked to put it, his success was due to him hiring artists and musicians fascinated by technology rather than computer geeks!
Why Choose Arts for your 2024 Summer School?
