An Art Course (Reading)

The young people below all want to do an art course during their school holidays. Following their texts, there are descriptions of eight short courses. Decide which course would be the most suitable for them.




Alice wants a course to help her with her drawing skills, particularly with drawing the latest styles of clothes, shoes and bags, because she wants to study this later at college.







Russell loves making comic books, but isn't confident about his drawing. He wants to draw superheroes and animals and create adventures about them, but doesn't want to display his work.







Merida enjoys making pictures and objects from different materials. During the course she'd like to use her love of sport in her designs, and visit an exhibition to get new ideas.






Gru is talented at drawing, but also likes filming his friends on an old digital camera. He wants to develop this skills by learning to use more advanced equipment, and prepare for further study.
