Visual Arts Taster course
This is a great way to explore and try out a range of visual art disciplines and processes. It is a fun, dynamic and exciting introduction to a world of possibilities. There is no prior knowledge or skills required, just a sense of adventure.
Build your confidence with demonstrations and practical exercises on the visual language of drawing where we show and guide you how to get across your ideas with different techniques and approaches. We then take a similar approach to painting, assemblage sculpture and mixed media.
