Course Introduction
Community courses are “first steps” for adults to learn new skills, develop confidence, meet others in welcoming classroom. The purpose of courses is to support students into further learning or employment (paid or voluntary).
This course will appeal to students who are interested in using alternative materials and methods to create art. It is suitable for both beginners and improvers.
We will use a range of recycled media and various techniques, and several finished pieces will be produced. Emphasis will be on students’ developing and exploring their own interests in the projects. Reference will be made to the work of past and contemporary artists.
Topics:
- Making and using your own drawing tools
- Collage
- Constructing reliefs
- Constructing sculpture
You will complete a short diary weekly in class time, to record your progress and receive written tutor feedback.
You will use Microsoft Teams whilst on the course. Microsoft Teams is a free, safe online app used by Nottingham College for tutors to contact students.
Using Teams will also enable you to develop and feel confident using digital skills.
For more information on using Microsoft Teams and the induction process, please visit our Induction Information for Community Students page.

Course Information
Non-accredited
There are no formal entry requirements but you must be aged 19+.
You will complete a weekly “Student Diary” and so ESOL students should be studying at entry 3 or higher to enrol on a Community course taught by non-ESOL tutor.
Tutors will give weekly verbal and written feedback. You will complete a short workbook and set your own personal targets, as well be progressing though the general course learning outcomes. This will help you and your tutors record progression on the course.
The course tutor and development workers can advise of other learning opportunities within Community faculty or signpost you to courses in other vocational areas of Nottingham College.
You will have the opportunity to receive progression guidance from an external locally based agency “Futures for You” whilst on the course.
If you are interested in progressing onto leisure courses in your chosen subject, you may have opportunities to do so at Nottingham College or be signposted to other leisure courses in the Nottingham area.
