This course is a fast paced, creatively rewarding, hands on practical subject. In art and design, you will explore how to successfully express your ideas visually and how to develop your practical skills in different artistic techniques and processes. The Level 1 Art and Design Diploma encourages you to be experimental with your approach and to explore lots of visual ideas which will lead to you making exciting two dimensional and three-dimensional finished work.
