What our students say about the course

A&M's Art Journalism 101 was wonderfully practical. Not only was the course material informative, but there were a lot of opportunities talk and ask questions about the presenters' on-the-job experiences as art journalists. I definitely feel more confident engaging in art journalism gigs and I've now written a total of 6 - 4 of which are on A&M!

- Aqilah Ali

The A&M team have been exceptionally helpful, patient and dedicated in guiding me and my writing skills throughout the course period. The writing course was well-structured and provided many useful materials that we can refer to. I found the overall process really enriching and beneficial for my writing!

- Chelsea Chye

Art Journalism 101 provided a good starting point for me to the world of art writing. The lessons were easy to understand and the A&M team’s thorough guidance smoothly guided me from theory to hands-on practice.
