Art is a great way to relax, unwind and develop your creative skills while meeting and engaging with likeminded people. Each week you will explore a simple and fun art activity and over the duration of the course, create a portfolio of work that demonstrates your learning experiences. You will then be able to use art to continue your personal creative wellbeing journey.

• Describe and demonstrate mark making techniques used in drawing
• Identify the best methods to create tone in charcoal
• Create one piece of work using sgraffito techniques
• Use a variety of art materials to produce at least one piece of work per week

Who is this course for: This course is aimed at anyone who would like to experience art as a way of relaxing and socialising with other likeminded individuals. We will create artwork through a range of weekly practical, fun and creative activities, that will also help to develop your confidence in creating art while being relaxing. This course is aimed at beginners looking for a gentle and supportive class, and is also suitable for intermediate learners looking to relax with art

Previous Knowledge or Experience: None required

How will I learn: Each week you will develop your work through learning new art techniques in different media
