Art, Design, Drawing and Painting

Overview

Becoming a versatile, well-rounded artist means being inspired by the greats and even becoming one of them. Perhaps you’re a fan of the classics like Van Gogh or Picasso or maybe you’re inspired by contemporary pioneers – Banksy, Yayoi Kusama, and David Hockney. You could even be the next world-renowned creative, selling your own work or featuring in galleries.

There’s no right or wrong on our art, design and drawing courses, with freedom and experimentation are at the forefront of what you’ll create. You’ll explore a wide range of mediums from painting, sketching and watercolour to life drawing and fine art, developing key skills to become competent in your chosen medium and confident in your abilities.

It all starts with taking the first step. Find out more about our art, design and drawing courses below.
