  • " DAS has helped me to structure all the information, all the theory of art, and helped me to put everything in it's place, and of course, it's made me work a lot. "
    Anna Shpylevska, DAS Student
  • " I would say, DAS is one of the best things I've ever done in my life. The opportunities it's opened up, the people I've met, the times I've had, all the hours sitting and drawing, and in the end actually becoming better. "
    Crowther Lindeque, DAS Graduate
  • "This year at DAS has been, probably the greatest year of my life. DAS really broadened my horizons. I never knew about art as in-depth as I do now from the year course."
