- Discover what works best for you… grids, containers, sighting etc.
- Work with different papers, pencils and media… discover which ones you prefer.
- Find out how to use a variety of the tools available to an artist and how to use them effectively.
- Handouts of the day’s topics to take with you when you leave.
- Small projects for you to practise that day’s subject at home (optional – you’re not back at school, don’t worry).
- ‘Try before you buy’ a selection of other drawing media/paper (e.g. charcoal, water-soluble graphite, coloured pencils).
- Individual feedback: both instant during the session and once the session draws to a close.

- There is no specific break during this 2-hour session, so please bring your own drinks and snacks if needed.
