Getting started with heritage and creativity
Feeling inspired? Below is a selection of fantastic free learning resources that can help you with discovering your community’s heritage as well as expressing yourself through writing, painting or other creative arts.
Writing what you know
This free course will help you to develop your perception of the world about you and enable you to see the familiar things in everyday life in a new light.
What is heritage?
This free course will introduce you to the concept of heritage and its critical study, exploring the role of heritage in both past and contemporary societies.
Making sense of art history
In this free course you will be exploring the power of images via a study of contemporary art from the 1980s onwards. Taking the time to look beyond the immediate appearance of an art work to consider what the artist might be trying to say can be immensely rewarding.
Picturing the family
Family photographs can offer insights into the past. This free course looks at some of the ways photographs can reveal, and sometimes conceal, important information about the past.
