What the college says

“If you love making art, you’ll miss it when it’s gone. If you choose to study Art, chances are, it will be your favourite class of the day” – Amiria Gale. In addition to conventional careers such as Architecture, Interior Design or Fine Art related occupations the development of the internet has created an outburst of exciting, creative, professions. Most businesses have an online presence requiring Web Designers, App Designers, Graphic Designers, Illustrators, Animation Artists and Multimedia Artists to name but a few emerging roles. Not only will an A-Level in Art and Design develop your technical skills with a wide range of materials but it will boost your hand-eye co-ordination, problem solving skills, lateral thinking, complex analysis and critical thinking skills. By the end of the course successful students are focused, able communicators with the ability to look at things anew in an organised manner.
