You will also be introduced to different mark-making techniques and elements of composition and will explore creative ways of using materials and techniques. It is suitable for those with no experience of drawing and also students with some previous experience who wish to practise and develop skills further. Although the course can be joined at any point, you will build on existing learning over the year to develop observational skills and build confidence in using a range of materials and techniques.The course is studio-based so projects will largely be concentrated on the still-life.

Materials used will include pencil, coloured pencils, charcoal, pen and ink, chalk and pastels and mark-making techniques will include drawing around the form, continuous line and hatching. You will be introduced to simple elements of composition such as positive and negative space and will use mixed media and collage to develop confidence in using a range of materials and to explore compositional space.
