Description
This four-week project-based course is a comprehensive and practical introduction to the fundamentals of drawing and painting. New topics are introduced each week together with creative projects designed to improve, build and inspire your own unique and individual artistic skills. Explore still life, landscape, portrait and figure drawing throughout this course where your tutor will begin each session with a brief presentation of contextual, historical and contemporary art followed by a practical art activity. You will also receive handy reference material to support your creative journey.
