Please note:
You will incur costs for materials and visits, details of which will be given at enrolment.
The main course aims to develop both your practical and critical thinking skills through a range of projects together with a separate art & design history/theory and traditional life drawing programmes. You will be encouraged to explore a wide range of themes and ideas through studying the work of diverse artists and designers as well as develop their own personal interests.
The course is delivered through workshops, 1-2-1 tutorials with lecturers and group critiques sessions which allow for open and honest discussion of themes and ideas within work in order to enable students to develop their own individual creative practice as well as confidence in communication skills. Each project explores a different aspect of art & design practice, with students compiling sketchbooks that evidence the development of their practical work and ideas along with supporting written work.
Each student is assigned a personal space in which to work in large, well lit studios and taught by a number of different lecturers with different specialist professional practices. The course covers a wide range of art & design skills which allows students to progress onto different specialisms at art school.
The first year is designed to give students a taster in different areas of art & design whilst building up the key practical and creative thinking skills required of all creative practitioners.
The second year is focused towards progression to HE, with students working on increasingly self directed projects within a chosen specialist field such as fine art, fashion & textiles, graphics or illustration to produce a portfolio of work for university or art school application. At the end of the year students undertake a self initiated final major project which culminates in a public exhibition.
Programme of Study:
Your main course will form part of your individual study programme which will include tutorial sessions and dedicated sessions where you will take part in commissions, live briefs, competitions and work experience. It will also include English and Maths if you have not yet achieved a Level 2. This programme of study will enable you to develop the skills and experience to gain the competitive edge in both job and higher education applications.
Work Experience is a part of this course, the hours and dates will be determined by the course tutor. Work experience can be up to a maximum of two weeks on an external placement, you are encouraged to source your own placement with support from the WEX Team and your course tutor. Where external placements are not possible you will be expected to take part in simulated work experience organised by the college.
