What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.

The course will encourage participants to engage with the process of drawing and expand their drawing skills by experimenting with different drawing techniques and exploring various drawing media in a contemporary way. Concentrating on observational drawing, with a focus on the figure and life drawing, this course aims to encourage the development of the participant’s own visual language and drawing abilities, as well as challenging them to make improvements and experiments. Traditionally in European culture studying the figure was core to drawing education and it has been taught at the Crawford College for over 100 years.
Uniquely, it continues to be an integral part of the Drawing curriculum. Many life rooms at the turn of the century were “up cycled” into computer rooms but all of us who teach drawing at third level know-if a student wants to learn analytic observation skills: Life draw. Life drawing is an opportunity to really connect with the world around you, and work with and respond to a live model, as well as take part in personalised as well as group feedback.
