Incentives

As an incentive for attending all nine sessions and successfully completing the course activities and Arts Award log, participants will receive a £30 Amazon voucher to spend as they wish on Amazon.co.uk.

Arts Award Explore

The course we have designed is Arts Award Accredited, meaning you can achieve an Entry Level (Entry 3) qualification which is part of the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). To achieve the Explore award level the need to produce a completed arts log, which will provide a record of your creative development throughout the project by evidencing your participation through photos, drawings, writing or video.

The arts log is split into four sections:

Inspire - You will evidence your participation in a range of artistic activities and describe which one most inspired you

Explore - You will evidence your understanding of the work of an artist and an artistic organisation, providing research you have compiled

Create - You will evidence the production of a piece of artwork in a discipline of your choice

Present - You will evidence what you have learned and enjoyed throughout the project by presenting your work to others

At every stage Mako Create’s tutors will be on hand to guide you through the process of compiling your arts log and will hand your completed booklet to the accreditor Trinity College London for you at the end of the project.
