"Get your artistic juices flowing" - Courses




im at home, ive graduated, i havent got a studio and have lack of funds. so i thought it would be nice to do some part time arty course and thought of city and guilds. well the do a number of suitable arty courses for someone like me lol such as Visual Techniques, mmm sounds great so i read further and saw the following:

7716-40: Level 2 Creative Sketchbooks: Qualification handbook
7716-21: Level 2 Wedding Designs: Qualification handbook

now the Creative sketchbooks course really caught my eye, so i downloaded the pdf of the course content and it was super basic, like colour wheels and mark making. But to me it would be nice to get lost in that stuff again. i could do it at home with myself but i need a fresh environment.

well i was getting all excited and then i had to stop dreaming, i did a post code search and the course isnt available in my area. i died inside lol

so im gonna take the pdf and print it off and do it myself . will be a nice little project for me, some Aims to have to keep me going.
