What the college says

The course commences with a focus on basic skills and techniques, and quickly builds to encompass a mixed media approach. Students work mainly in sketchbooks and develop work in a variety of textile and three dimensional materials for a portfolio of evidence. Following the Art, Craft & Design course allows students to produce work and final outcomes in a variety of materials and forms including textiles, printing and dyeing, sculpture and three dimensional design. There are a series of lesson based workshops in which students learn a range of new skills. Students are encouraged to develop an individual and personalised approach to their studies. Progress is monitored and supported through regular tutorials. Students and staff agree challenging targets and areas for development. Students are encouraged to visit appropriate exhibitions to supplement their studies and the department provides a range of off site learning opportunities including gallery visits, for example: London; Tate Modern and museums; V&A and the British Museum. Students achievements are celebrated in a summer exhibition held at College. The course is demanding and challenging, however students enjoy studying Art, Craft & Design at All Hallows.
