How will I learn?

This is an online course which includes some interactive delivery from your tutor (up to 1.5 hours per week) along with resources and exercises for you to utilise outside of the session. You will also be required to continue working on your project in between sessions.

To enhance your learning, we will be asking you to record your progress and achievement by submitting photographs of your work (electronically to your tutor) with comments on what you had learned during the completion of the work, what was challenging, what suddenly fell into place, notes on colour mixing etc. Your tutor will be able to add their comments and return this to you; you can collate these sheets and will act as your own personal reminder between classes and when working on projects in between classes. It will also provide a record of your progress and achievement.
