Course Information

We aim to enable all students to gain confidence in a wide range of materials and techniques. We teach various techniques with materials such as pencil, pencil crayon, oil pastel, watercolour, pen, 3D construction and photography. As part of their experience we look at various artists from past and present to give a wide range of experience and knowledge. Students are given choice through their own research to enable them to design their own art work and be able to develop their own creativity.
