What will the course or workshop cover and how will it be taught?

- Appreciate and use different techniques and processes that result in a drawn piece of artwork.
- Appreciate some different approaches to, and styles of, drawing by looking at artists’ work.
- Different methods of teaching and learning will include practical work, demonstrations, group discussion, one-to-one advice and guidance, looking at work by other artists, and peer learning.
