Art and Design - Creative Exploration
A short, hands-on, introduction to self expression in art and graphic design. Learn basic colour theory and design principles, while experimenting with different approaches and tools. The focus is on process, exploration and building confidence, rather than creating a perfect end result. Expect to try new things, step outside your comfort zone and develop your own creative approach.
