Mixed Media and Painting

Course overview

Mixed media is a type of artwork that mixes different media or materials into one piece.

In this 10-weeks course, you will have the opportunity to explore a range of new techniques and materials, creating contemporary artworks that are built up through layers.
What differentiates this course from other painting courses is the wide range of materials and techniques that are used. A variety of contemporary, mixed-media painting materials are introduced and practiced.

This course runs during term time only.
