Course introduction

This course is for students who have completed a previous Nottingham College course in drawing and want to take part in a more advanced class.

Under the guidance and support of your tutor, you will build on a good foundation of skills and knowledge using drawing processes and begin to feel confident enough to work more independently.

You will be guided through the intricacies of line work, shading, proportion, and mark making, helping you to master the art of capturing drawings on paper.

This course will give you the opportunity to build on the principles of drawing and will lead to the development of a more developed and realised portfolio of work.

You will receive supportive tutoring, new knowledge and skills in material use, and opportunities to develop your creativity.

Please note: Due to the high demand of these part time courses, if you start a course but can no longer carry on, you will not be eligible for a full course refund. If you enrol on a course and the start date passes, you will not be eligible for a course material fee refund. If you get remitted fees and attend your course for free, if you do not attend the first two sessions without letting the tutor know or without valid reason, you will be withdrawn from the course. Many thanks for your understanding.
