Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar), a Qatar Foundation partner, has unveiled a diverse selection of art and design community classes for the upcoming fall season. Running from September 9 to December 11, 2024, these courses are designed to inspire creativity in individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.
Organized by VCUarts Qatar’s Community and Continuing Education (CCE) department, the program features seven courses and two free taster sessions. The taster sessions will introduce participants to branding and design, as well as smartphone photography. The seven courses span a range of topics, including film, design theory, digital jewelry design, natural pigment creation, and both introductory and advanced interior design.
These classes have gained popularity due to their variety of subjects and the high-quality instruction provided by experienced professionals. Participants also benefit from access to VCUarts Qatar’s cutting-edge resources. Ena Caroline Alves Barcia, a past participant, praised the interior design course for its interactive format and the expertise of the instructor, Nada Abbara.
The community classes at VCUarts Qatar have also served as a stepping stone for some attendees, inspiring them to pursue further education at the university. According to Rasha Alkasab, Program Manager for Community and Continuing Education, the Fall 2024 program reflects VCUarts Qatar’s dedication to extending art and design education to the broader community. The courses offer valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth, as well as a chance for prospective students to explore the university’s diverse disciplines.
