This will include 4 new modules that will be offered in the 2023 – 2024 academic year. There are two new 10-credit modules entitled Drawing Resolution and Painting Resolution which will run from September to May. Students on these 30-week modules will work towards an exhibition to be held in the RHA School and coincide with the RHA Annual exhibition with the guidance of a personal tutor.
Two new Mentored Modules (Painting II and Drawing II) with new tutors including Aideen Barry ARHA, Ciara Roche, Joy Gerrard ARHA and Gabhann Dunne, will be launched in January 2024.
