What the college says

Studying the Subject - This exciting and challenging course encourages students to build on their artistic skills, knowledge and understanding acquired at GCSE. Students will develop their intellectual, imaginative and creative powers, through a series of practical units. They will demonstrate their ability and aesthetic understanding through visual studies and drawing, which will provide the means for exploring ideas with a wide variety of techniques. Many of these techniques will include fabric printing, stitching, relief printing, batik and wax works, transfer techniques and mixed media textiles. Fundamental ideas about colour, pattern, texture, image and form, together with technical and practical hands-on making skills are developed in a wide range of disciplines that will enable exciting outcomes which could include expressive textiles, garments/fashion, accessories, soft furnishings, printed and/or dyed textiles, constructed textiles, textile installation or digital textiles. Students will develop their own individual and creative flair through developing an exciting portfolio. Through the experience of working with a broad range of media, students can develop a high level of knowledge and skills that include critical, contextual and analytical understanding, thus enhancing their ability to access further or higher education or enter the workplace.
