Sketchbook English is an art school-level art course wrapped up in an ESL English language course.
Notes on Question 02
Sketchbook English is designed to develop English from lower-intermediate (B1) towards upper-intermediate (B2) OR (B2) towards lower advanced level (C1).
This means that it assumes you have some knowledge of past tense, present perfect, and conditionals. (Sketchbook English doesn’t introduce this grammar but it practices it).
The outcomes will be increased fluency and comprehension of your area of specialisation (art & design).
