Tutors will use a variety of teaching methods including demonstrations, one to one guidance, group discussions and critiques. You will look at the work of contemporary and historical artists and you will keep a sketchbook/notebook and individual learning plan (ILP) to record goals, ideas, processes and progress. You will undertake critical reflection and evaluation and be motivated to develop creative skills and enhance/develop personal skills.

A good cartridge paper A4 sized painting sketch book, and a good set of watercolour pencils. You will also need to have suitable pencils and a clean de-labeled jar for water. Please bring a long anything you think could be suitable and the tutor will talk you through what you need as the course progresses.
