About this course

This introductory course gives you the tools and the space to begin to develop a personal language and key to this exploration is drawing. Drawing has different forms and functions, it can be playful, explorative, illustrative, it can be used to analyse, record, generate, discover, doodle, experience, collaborate, visualise. Drawing gives you the means to communicate in a personal and visual way, and you will experience some of the versatility of this core activity on this course.
