This video shows snippets from a mixed media lesson where tutor Mrs Rees demonstrates how to develop ideas. Students are guided step by step through a number of tasks in the first phase of the course – we call it the ‘Skill Builder’ – and in this sample it is the 3rd out of 4 hour-long sessions where the task on creating a Mixed Media outcome is explained and guided.

Students can join at any time and watch with no pressure of cameras or microphones, and observe or offer suggestions, ideas or questions to the chat box on the screen – or privatly with the tutor. We have students tuning in from all over the world and it is a creative space to meet, discuss, learn and progress through the course in a structured way with live demos – these happen twice a week, every week!

Learning from home at a student’s own pace is very important to us and our learners. If these sessions can’t be attended live, they are all added to an archive to be used as and when needed. Some students prefer our You Tube clips, or documented steps as PDFs to follow and read…there really is only one way to learn, and that is personal to you; we are here to accommodate and to be very flexible with every aspect of this course.

Level 2 Certificate in Art and Design will get you onto our Level 3 Foundation Diploma, and onto Art A levels at colleges.
