About the course:

Use the building blocks of art (such as line, colour and shape) and the work of different artists to express yourself, have fun and try out new techniques.

Benefits of creative activities include helping us process our thoughts, relax, practice self-care, connect with others, embrace mistakes, experiment and try things out.

This course aims to boost creative confidence, helping you to make unique, personal artworks which communicate your interests and ideas.

Who is this course for: For complete beginners who would like to create for fun with like-minded people.

How will I learn: Through observation, discussion and practical, hands-on tasks.

How will I be assessed: Tutor observation and individual work.
