Painting Taster Sessions (3 Weeks) – 3D Campus
This 3 week course is designed for the student with little or no painting experience, although it might prove useful to those who would like to add a little more structure to their painting experience. Projects and exercises within the course will be broad-based and inclusive.
Planting Design
This is an intensive 6 week course in planting design, aimed at students that have completed the garden design course earlier this year and may be interested in learning about planting design and apply this to their own garden design during the course.
Short Drawing Courses
You will be able to explore the creative possibilities of drawing, gain confidence and broaden your expectations and understanding of the subject. Each highly focused course will cover slightly different aspects of drawing. For example the function of line, tone, texture, mark making and composition, through carefully structured approaches. On occasion we may spend time drawing in galleries or museums. The courses are suitable for both experienced students and those just beginning their drawing journeys.
