BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Recent events have taught us that sometimes we need to be able to express ourselves or occupy ourselves in new ways. Sometimes just for fun but sometimes to remain healthy. This short course will offer learners the chance to challenge themselves, overcome obstacles through problem solving skills, find new means of expression (or develop existing ones). This can be done through the creation of artworks. Learners will develop confidence through step by step achievement of goals and milestones and improve their outlook by building a set of skills appropriate to them as individuals.
