What the college says
During this 2 year course students will engage in creating ideas for physical, and or conceptual design outcomes that are personal and original. Students will be guided through the course by the class teacher, but will have a great sense of independence when shaping and developing their visual portfolio. Students will be able to express their own ideas and in many forms using many combinations of process, material, technique and media, and will work with digital media and learn how to produce all work in Photoshop. Students will develop skills of critical analysis and interpretation of their own outcomes and the work of others. The aim is to develop a very high standard of practical ability and confidence in talking about core concepts and elements of the visual arts, which will lead to direct entry onto degree courses in the visual arts and related disciplines. Students will have many opportunities to see art and design from first hand experiences and meet with artists on trips to galleries around the world. Students will develop a portfolio that will be suitable for interview at University or employment.
