GCE A Level in Art and Design (Art, Craft and Design)
at Trinity School, Carlisle · school or sixth form
What the college says
Students are encouraged to develop their ideas in an original and exciting manner, providing them with the opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones. We encourage students to visit galleries locally and in Edinburgh/ London. The Art department organises trips in the spring/summer term. This enables students to experience a rich variety of historical and contemporary work, which will subsequently inform their own creativity. We encourage all Art students to attend after school Life Drawing classes and screen printing sessions organised in collaboration with The University of Cumbria; the exciting work produced is entered as part of their coursework.
