1. Strong Foundations, Taught Simply

Every piece of art starts with the basics. We focus on teaching these clearly and without pressure, so learning feels achievable rather than intimidating.

You’ll learn how to:

• Break what you see into simple shapes and forms

• Understand light, shadow, and depth

• Use colour with more confidence and purpose

• Create a sense of space and perspective in your work

These skills are revisited throughout the term, allowing steady improvement and growing confidence.
