Starting to Paint
This course will develop your skills as a painter and
your knowledge of painting. You will learn how
to analyse and select from the visual world and
translate what you see into paintings. The course
also covers the main approaches to painting over
the last hundred years so that you will be able to
see your own work in a broader context. You will
be using acrylics and/or oils and also developing
your drawing skills. The course can be taken by a
complete beginner or by someone with experience
looking for a new approach to their work.

Art of Photography
There are millions of photographers in the world, all clamouring to
be seen and heard; but very few of them are able to stand out from
the crowd. To be noticed in photography you need to be creative,
experimental and daring; in short, you need to be an artist. With
this course, you will not only begin to see the world through a
photographer’s eyes, but also via the unquenchable vision of an
artist. You’ll quickly find there’s more to photography than shutter
speeds and F-stops!

Starting to Write
Our creative writing courses are designed to inspire you and make you believe
in yourself as a writer. Starting to Write provides a basis for imaginative
writing and the expression of personal experience. It will help you to
practise writing in various genres, develop critical models, acquire
primary skills in drafting, editing and presentation, and respond to
constructive suggestions and criticism. It is for beginners or those
seeking a fresh approach for their writing.
Poetry
Have you ever wanted to have a more informed appreciation of other
people’s poetry or write better poems yourself? This course will help
you to achieve both! Whilst it is firmly structured, it will leave
you space to be creative as you write poems on a wide range of
subjects, and practise different styles and techniques. You will
also develop a vocabulary for analysing and evaluating poems
through studying the work of other poets.
