Art Foundation Courses in London

I am a post retirement person seeking to improve my artistic skills. I am especially interested in an Art Foundation course to find where my predisposition might lie and how to dispose of my output!
I live in SE London so would need to be London based.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi there. I've amended the name of your thread to reflect the topic :smile:

The UAL foundation art diploma is probably the most well-known and well-recognised art foundation course. It's a great option if you live in London.

It also might be worth looking into options around you for local figure drawing classes. These are sometimes more free-form and sometimes structured, with a teacher. I've been to both types and found them to be particularly helpful for developing artistic skills and meeting a really wide range of people - an Art Foundation course might have a younger crowd, as it's typically done in preparation for an undergraduate university course - but life drawing classes tend to have a real range of attendees.

Best of luck with your art journey! Let me know if you have any other Qs.
