Introduction:

This course is encouraging and gently challenging.

It’s aimed at those interested in drawing and mark-making using different tools and materials.

It’ll encourage participation, experimentation and reflection, whilst exploring the fundamentals of energy, the organic self, the sensory self and the expression of self.
