This informal course is for complete beginners as well as improvers to explore the visual world by beginning to develop drawing and painting skills. You will be encouraged to develop ideas within your sketchbook and each week we will have feedback within the group. Of this 5-week course, the 2nd and 4th weeks will be online, giving you the opportunity to reduce the time required in the college building while still engaging with the course. These online sessions will take place on Zoom.

No work outside the sessions is required. However, the college has an exciting programme of events, exhibitions and competitions throughout the year. Your tutor will make you aware of these and your participation is welcomed and encouraged.While there is no formal homework; your tutor may discuss ideas with you individually to help extend your study and for ongoing independent projects. Your tutor will also recommend exhibitions, or websites and books for you to use to enrich your study.

There is no exam or formal assessment for this course. However, you will complete an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) which will outline the learning objectives for the course. You will also be invited to set your own goals. You will receive feedback against the achievement of these outcomes during the course from your tutor, and in written form at the end of the course.

There is no formal qualification attached to this course but you can receive a Certificate of Completion from the college on request.

Once you have completed the course, you may choose to enrol on a further term in this subject or another subject.

For Art and Design courses, once you have developed a portfolio of work, you could consider applying to the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design as a Pathway into Higher Education.
