The course is structured into a series of practical and theory-based
assignments that aim to extend your knowledge, understanding and creative
abilities in the area of art and design.
Initial workshops will introduce you to diverse ways of working, exploring
creative applications to include drawing, printmaking, mixed-media, 3D and
painting, before undertaking more independent assignment topics to assist with
independent idea generation within your chosen specialist pathway.
Alongside practical studio days, you will learn about the history of Art and
Design via theory sessions, which will also provide opportunity to develop your
skills in academic writing and Harvard Referencing.
Weekly Study Skills session will allow you to manage and organise your time
effectively, as well as introducing you to effective learning strategies to
assist with Higher Education. Within these sessions, support and guidance will
also be provided with HE applications, interview preparation and portfolios.
The year will culminate with a Final Major Project exhibition that will allow
you to showcase your new found skills in a professional
environment.
