About this course

Art Mixed Media is an introduction to different ways of creating drawn and painted images and will give you the opportunity to explore a range of experimental mixed media techniques including collage, pen and inks, frottage, typographic printing, and painting and stenciling.

During the course we will be focusing on using these techniques in a range ways to build up fragmented or abstracted compositions. We will be working both in black and white and colour and the key approach to media will be experimentation! Some experience of drawing and painting is useful, but not essential as each week we will explore a different process (or processes in combination). It will be fun!


You will learn about how you can use these media and techniques creatively through looking at and discussing other artists work and by demonstrations, personal experimentation and individual tuition.


By the end of the course everyone will have explored and gained confidence in a range of experimental, creative techniques, produced some effective developmental images and gained skills for future art and design work.


By the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Discuss how other artists have used experimental techniques in their work to explore ideas.
  • Use inks to explore markmaking and different qualities of line.
  • Use different black and white and colour media to produce textures to use in collage experiments.
  • Use text and printmaking techniques to explore ideas.
  • Use painting and stenciling techniques to explore colour, layering and composition.
  • Use a range of mixed media confidently.
