What the college says

Throughout this course there is a strong emphasis on the teaching of creative, contemporary drawing skills and developing underpinning research skills. You are encouraged to explore and experiment through a wide range of Art and Design media. You will explore traditional drawing and painting skills whilst also being introduced to working with a very multimedia approach; from drawing with a sewing machine and wire, to print based materials. Observational drawing and recording skills are very important and encouraged throughout the course. This is a linear qualification, which means that students must complete all assessments at the end of the course. This course is vital if you wish to study for an Art and Design related subject at Higher Education (HE) level. This programme will encourage all students to develop: intellectual, imaginative, creative skills; investigate analytical, experimental, practical, technical and expressive skills, aesthetic understanding and critical judgement; independence of mind in relation to developing their own ideas, refining their own intentions and personal outcomes; an interest in, enthusiasm for and enjoyment of art and design; the experience of working with a broad range of media, including traditional and new media and technologies. This highly creative and successful course aims to give you the confidence and skills to explore a diverse range of themes and to develop a questioning and analytical attitude. Many students progress onto a BTEC
