Hello everyone!

i hope you all are ok

well i was wondering if anyone here has ever or thinking or are taking a London Art college distance learning art course well lets say that i started a course with them like last year and then i had to cancel due to lack of money and now like in Jan of this year i ask them if u could start where i left off with them and my husband has paid out alot of money for it nearly £300 and i havent done mush in it am finding it soooo Hard i have only one year to do it now i have over 30 units to do i havent done art for over 8 years and the lessons are not step by step like the ones on this site am like a baby lol i dont have a clue when it comes to drawing and art stuff any one here that has done a london art college course?

I did something very simular a few years back well about 18 years it was a CIS course and to be quite honest i found it was a complete waste of time.. back then we didnt have any online support or even any help via a phone it was all written letters and took for ages to get a reply or even any work marked ... i dont know what CIS is like now or whether their support has improved but i paid out alot for nothing.. in my opinion if anyone is going to pay out mahoosive amounts of money for lessons like these then make sure they have a good support system where they can offer advice and support within good time of requesting it

well with my one that i do We can email write to my tutor we get commets back from my tutor though email ,written though the post or we have a tape that the tutor has Rec for us persoanly commeting on our work theres no phone call to the tutor though and i went to look on the website last night and they have come up with a Student Area
. Via this page the London Art college students will be able to login to the admin area to upload their assessments and artwork straight to the tutors center. We hope to add many new features to this area over the coming weeks and months so do check back regularly. but it aint for my course as yet as its on trial at the mo! well when i email the collge they email me right back then i do the work it takes about roghly a month to get back to me


well i can say aswell with the Art couses that i have been on that are NON distance learning Ie they dont teach you how to draw and the basics or how to do art at all They Just tell you what to do or just hand out a piace of paper and you just have to get on with it
I know of a artist friend that does art workshops for people and hes had artists that come to him for the lessons that dont know Colour mixing primary and secondary colours and they have done a BA Degree in fine art

could ya give me the website address for the distance learning course that u did in the past?


with the distance learning course that i have they tell you everything from Colour mixing primary and secondary colours Materials needed, perspective, pen and ink drawing, drawing plants and flowers, drawing animals, drawing out of doors, using the photocopier, distinction between pen and pencil, illustrating for children, materials and colour, watercolour techniques and preparation, size and proportion of pictures, composition, landscapes, creativity in painting, oil painting, experiments with style, acrylics and gouache, life drawing, life and movement, male and female comparisons, portraiture, graphic design, poster painting, lettering, book jackets, greetings cards, fashion drawing.


i just find it hard due being a real beginner and its not step by step some bits are not much
heres the website address if ya wanna take a look [url=http://www.londonartcollege.co.uk/index.htm]


sorry about the spelling and etc..i have bad Dyslexia

I dont know the CIS website hun but it has been advertised on TV over the past few months so im sure they will have a course online if you do ever get stuck on it im sure i will be able to help in some way but i will have a quick look and let you know what i think

Yeah i found the ics website bless ya lol it dont look good dont seem like you get a art tutor at all







CIS i MEAN LOL

nope still crap then .. and you pay way over the top too . think your best to stick to a site like this where you can get help almost straight away if not by Brenda then some one who may be about on the forum

why is it crap? i get a professionl artist to teach me and i have found coures that are like over £500 that are distance learning and mine was less then £300!! for a 2 year course that covers everything

this site dont cover everything


i was talking about the cis course that u have done lol am lost lol


ohhhhhhhhh Sorry i thought u where talking about my course lol i aint with it silly me!!!!!!!!

I signed up for an online watercolor course where I get biweekly lessons to download, a place to upload my work and immediate response with the instructor. Although I bit off a little more than I could chew, I opted to spend most of my time here getting back in the basics of drawing as I was stumped about what to paint.

Although, I admit tha 30 Euros for three months of lessons can't be beat. Right now I am collecting the lessons and going to go through them later. His guarantee is once you are a member, you can remain with the site to get professional critiqueing of your work and help with complex issues you may encounter.

Thats cool yeah we cant go Forward untill we have learn the basics that so true!!
