Learners will develop confidence in combining visual and written elements, experimenting with texture, layering, and composition to express personal narratives and emotions, while using the creative process as a way to relax and reflect

Learning Goals:

  • Develop your skills in mixed media portraiture by using at least 2 different materials and incorporating a personal quote or lyric into your work
  • Complete a landscape-themed artwork integrating a reflective or poetic text element
  • Create a abstract piece using 2 different materials whilst embedding quotes
  • Self-evaluate how engaging with art impacts your mood, stress levels and overall sense of wellbeing.

About the course: Learners will create artwork inspired by the weekly theme, combining visual elements with words to express emotions and personal narratives. They will have the option to refine their pieces after each session, supporting both artistic growth and personal wellbeing
