Overview
Develop your creativity and progress into accreditation on this course.

During class you will be generating a collective of final works in your chosen mediums. With the Level 1 qualification, you are required to document and keep a sketch book of your ideas and working processes. You will also research your mediums by looking at artists that inspire you and visit art galleries to inform your work and be part of your research.
As part of the course modules, you are required to engage with Adult Education’s Personal Learning Record (PLR), Padlet – where you will upload your work weekly and at times will need to share your working process with the tutor and internal verifier via class video recordings.

This course will help you to grow in your own art practice, gain confidence whilst gaining a certificate in NCFE Level 1 Creative Craft.
