This transformational course gives you space to explore your personal approach to making art. Structured creative exercises will help silence those doubting gremlins, generate new ideas and reignite the artist in you.

This is an ideal course if you are feeling a bit stuck and looking to unleash your creativity. At the end of it you will have a better understanding as to what kind of artist you would like to be and what kind of art you would like to make. This is relevant whether you are an experienced artist or just starting out.

The tutor will lead a series of exercises, including automatic drawing and dream boxes, that will give you the framework to ‘play’ giving you tools to generate ideas and develop imagery. You will be encouraged to be creative and brave, with a wide range of materials. Individual support and mentoring will help you develop your work in the direction that best suits you, using the materials that work for you.
You will create interesting work that explores a very personal approach to the world around you and your own creativity.

What will I learn?

• A better understanding of what kind of artist you want to be and what kind of work you want to make 
• Skills and methods to generate ideas and develop imagery
• Energy and motivation to get creative and make new work
• Time and space to reflect

Who would this course suit?

This is an ideal course for those who feel a bit stuck and need to reenergise their creativity. You might feel that the process of making art is what you need help with rather than instruction on the skills of painting and drawing. 

This could also suit you if you have a creative background and want to find a way of harnessing this to make art. You might not have an art background but you enjoy being challenged, discussions with others and the chance to be playful.
