Online Courses and Workshops

AccessArt - Visual Arts Online Workshops
http://www.accessart.org.uk/index.html

A series of visually exciting and innovative 'online workshops', specially created by AccessArt. The online workshops condense and articulate artist-led teaching which has taken place in schools, museums and galleries. Each online workshop is accompanied by explanatory notes for the educators and printable resource material which can be used directly by the learner.

Draw (Age 16+)
