Do you want to find the natural artist in you? Amelia Critchlow's e-course, Experimental Art, explores a variety of art techniques in experimental ways whilst having fun with an on-line community, sharing and discussing ideas and work produced. This 6 week course is for busy people who want to take their creative inclinations to the first step, or people already practicing their art and want to try something new, getting some fresh inspiration, all from the comfort of home. The course costs £60 ($90 based on current exchange rate) and will include an extensive look at a variety of artists, with lots of pdfs, web and book resources, as well as individual feedback from Amelia - a qualified tutor and practicing artist in the UK. Enrolment for the Autumn experimental art e-course (starting Sept 13th) is now live here - please note, there are a limited number of spaces on each course. Be sure to check out Amelia's website where you can find her gallery, blog, and more. For testimonials about the course, see here.
