Our Creative Intent
Creativity is an essential aspect of human expression and plays a crucial role in fostering well-being and a sense of purpose.
The ambition of the Kent Adult Education Creative curriculum is to engage the community through an energetic and diverse programme offer planned to meet the varied needs and interests of Kent’s communities, thereby ensuring high quality learning is delivered across the county in dedicated adult education centres, online and in neighbourhood settings.
Creative courses aim to build confidence through learning, allowing students to express themselves, think critically, and collaborate with their peers. By empowering our students to become confident, imaginative, and adaptable learners, we aim to develop students' curiosity, resilience, and adaptability, preparing them for future challenges, opportunities, and personal development.
This course is designed to teach learners the basic techniques to drawing and painting and develop confidence and skills through a range of weekly tutored lessons. You will explore a range of materials, colour creation, light, and shade, as well as artistic styles, applying techniques and tips to landscape, still life and personal projects. This course will be informative, challenging and fun. This course will be delivered in person. It introduces and/or expands a learner's knowledge of simple print-making techniques
- and explores the relationship between drawing, painting, and printmaking. Students will learn new methods for making series of
printed images without the use of a press, through less-traditional and more experimental frottage, monoprint and collagraph, sampling textured materials and objects. They will be introduced to contemporary artists working with these exploratory printmaking approaches and will be encouraged to work with an openended and imaginative style.
