RAVENSBOURNE PARTNERSHIP 

Hi all I just wanted to make you aware of Ravensbourne University upcoming virtual open day, which is taking place on Wednesday 17th June from 3pm. There will be the opportunity to discover their courses with talks from their academics, have a 360 tour of their building and facilities, take part in a live Q&A with their student ambassadors, as well information sessions on accommodation, student support, admissions and their student union. This would be a great opportunity for you to explore everything Ravensbourne.
You can book to attend here.

Summer School: Building Portfolios + Showreels
Also, just a reminder that their summer schools start on Monday 22nd June, and will focus on supporting students to make work for university portfolios over the summer.

There are 6 different projects:

Fashion (Design, Business + Styling)
Character Design (Illustration, Animation + Games Design)
Graphics + Brand Design
Architecture + 3D Design
Photography
Showreel (Film, Post Production + TV)

Please book here.

Their summer schools have been designed so participants can take part in more than one (they might want to try character design and photography!)
They will be sending out weekly projects (with a pre-recorded intro film from them), a written project brief, an online intro session, and the opportunity to join drop in tutorials and crits with tutors and student ambassadors. This means they'll be accessible to all young people, who might not have on-demand access to wifi, with live feedback + crit sessions available on zoom for those who do.

We understand that participants might not have access to laptops, cameras, and design materials. The focus will be on the creative process, and how to research, experiment, and prototype.

They're really happy for eager Year 11's as well as Year 12 + 13 students to take part.

Personal Statement feedback
They're offering online personal statement feedback to any young people who are applying for creative Foundation and/or Undergraduate courses. This starts on Monday 15th June, and will run throughout summer.
If you would like to take up this opportunity you just need to email outreach@rave.ac.uk.

'At home' creative workshops and tutorials
They've written a series of 'at home' creative workshops and tutorials for young people to continue to stay engaged and creative in lockdown. These workshops can be accessed here.

Get involved!! There is so much to do to help you develop your creative portfolio!!
