What the college says

By choosing to study Art and Design at A level you are taking the first exciting step towards a career in the creative industries, the largest industries in the UK, which are currently worth £84 billion a year! Art and Design enables us to connect with the world across countries and cultures. The world adapts and changes on a daily basis, being visually aware improves our ability to decipher and decode the visual imagery we are bombarded with, enabling us to relate to a wider audience. Working with a broad range of media exploring the visual elements of art, as an art and design student you develop confidence, competence, imagination and creativity. Art provides you with valuable opportunities to develop your experimental, analytical and documenting skills and your understanding of art, craft and design in history and in contemporary society. The artistic process encourages reflection and critical judgements of your work and that of other artists. These are valuable skills which can be applied to other subject areas and future employment
