COURSE OVERVIEW
This course, equivalent to three A Levels, is ideal preparation for students keen to study Art at a higher level or pursue a career in the industry. Working in our purpose-built art studios, you will benefit from the input of both full-time staff and visiting artists and designers.
COURSE STRUCTURE
Before You Start
You may be required to complete an activity before you start in order to help introduce you to the subject. Check back in the summer term for more details.
Year 1
In year one you will work on a flexible introductory core programme of visual studies, integrated individual and group projects and workshop practice in both 2D and 3D of which drawing is an integral part. Contextual studies, information technology and professional practice also form a vital part of the course. This will culminate in a final project which will be exhibited in the College.
Year 2
During your second year you will select a pathway in which to specialise from any of the units covered (Painting, sculpture, graphic design, illustration, 3D design, fashion and textiles, photography or animation) and produce a final major project. Within this, research and development and a written statement of intentions are important elements. Work is internally assessed at the end of each unit and externally moderated.
