CityVarsity School of Media and Creative Arts will be hosting a 12 week Interior Decorating course at their Cape Town Campus.

This 12 week evening course teaches students basic design and decorating principles. It is for those who wish to work on their own as well as for people already working in the interior design industry. This intensive program of lectures, combined with practical design work and factory visits is constructed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of interior decorating. Students are trained to have a knowledge and understanding of design elements, concepts and methods, communication (both visual and verbal) and understanding of materials and their use; interior movements and styles; and business studies, including teamwork and leadership.

There will be visits to main fabric showrooms to show students what is available locally. Students are encouraged to develop their own individual design ideas in the production of their main project - the decoration of a small penthouse apartment. The project requires the communication of proposals through plans, sections and-or elevations, 1- and 2-point perspective views, concept and sample boards, and compilation of quotation and contract documents.

On completion of the course students will be competent enough to tackle small projects on their own with confidence and will possess functional understanding of the elements and principles of interior decorating. Students will qualify with the CityVarsity Certificate in Interior Decorating on the basis of their attendance and a written assessment of project work.
