This short course introduces students to the fundamental skills of art, design and digital photography. It is designed for adults who are looking to explore their creative interests or develop basic techniques for personal or professional use. Students will learn core principles of photography, including how to use camera settings, lighting and composition to take effective photographs. Alongside this, the course explores essential art and design concepts such as colour theory, the colour wheel, and the creative cycle. Through a combination of hands-on activities and guided exploration, students will begin to develop their own visual style while building confidence in applying creative techniques. Whether you are pursuing a new hobby or looking to take the first step toward further study in the arts, this course provides a supportive introduction to the world of visual creativity.

Do I pay this fee?
Higher Education courses such as HNCs and HNDs can be self-funded through a payment plan. However, for eligible students, a tuition fee loan can fund your course through Student Finance England and you may be eligible for a maintenance loan to support your education.
Please note, you should apply for your loan before the course starts. You only commit to the loan once you begin attending the course.
