Course overview
Course description
This course enables learners with absolutely no experience of drawing and painting to try out their skills in a safe and supportive learning environment. We will explore a range of drawing and basic painting techniques and you will be supported by an experienced tutor who will guide you in taking your first steps. There will be set learning outcomes which will enable you to chart your progress throughout the course.
These learning outcomes will be:
1. Use three drawing techniques.
2. Define what we mean by a "sketch"
3. Make a drawing from observation.
4. Describe a technique used by at least one artist.
5. Use three basic painting techniques and state your preference.
This course will enable you to try a range of techniques in drawing and painting, so that you can begin to become creative and develop your own personal style/way of working, where you will be working alongside other learners who are doing the same. There will be an emphasis on individual learning, as well as group discussion and tutor feedback. This is the perfect opportunity to dip your toe into the world of art.
