Course introduction

Community courses are “first steps” for adults to learn new skills, develop confidence, meet others in welcoming classroom. The purpose of courses is to support students into further learning or employment (paid or voluntary).

This course is perfect if you have not painted before and would like to learn acrylic painting as a complete beginner.

You will learn about:

  • Primary, secondary and complimentary colours
  • Art terminology
  • Preliminary studies in drawing and painting
  • Colour studies in acrylic paints

This course will focus on learning about primary colours mixing to get secondary and complimentary colours. It will reinforce drawing and painting skills in preliminary studies. All students will complete their art works in colour studies on different subjects of painting through step-by-step individual help and guidance.

You should attend regularly and arrive on time to make best progress on course.

You will complete a short diary weekly in class time, to record your progress and receive written tutor feedback.

You will use Microsoft Teams whilst on the course. Microsoft Teams is a free, safe online app used by Nottingham College for tutors to contact students.

Using Teams will also enable you to develop and feel confident using digital skills.
