This course is a very good way for you to develop your skills in art and design and will enable you to explore new techniques and specialist areas of art and design that you will not have studied at school. The course will appeal to you if you are keen to develop your own particular interests and ideas when you are creating work.
The course is delivered through workshops, 1-2-1 tutorials with lecturers and group work which enables students to develop their creative and practical skills as well as confidence in communication and applying problem solving skills. Each project explores a different aspect of art & design, with students compiling sketchbooks that evidence the development of their practical work and ideas along with supporting written work: You will undertake projects in drawing, sculpture and 3D design, textiles, ceramics, graphic design, illustration and games design.
