- Explore diverse approaches to drawing, broadened through using different materials and techniques, to develop a range of imagery and creative work
- Creatively observe, record and use visual sources
- Carry out creative research
- Uncover, generate and instigate personal creative ideas.

Students are taught through group and individual tuition, as well as on going demonstrations. The course is structured around creative projects that are generally introduced the previous week, although a project timetable will also be provided at the start of the course. Projects will also introduce relevant artists that can be researched in London galleries.

Projects and technique workshops include collage, mono-printing, colour mixing, book constructions and paper manipulation.

This course concerns contemporary practices and debates. As such you can expect to be stimulated and challenged by some of the ideas and images discussed.
