2. Course description Summary: The programme builds on students' learning in art and design, identifying strengths and developing skills in a wide range of art disciplines Course description: Students will develop independent ways of working, a greater critical awareness of their own work and that of others, and develop an understanding of the career opportunities in creative industries. You will be guided through a number of units and will develop a range of practical skills using a variety of media. These will be explored through themed projects and will include 2D, 3D and time based media. Subjects could include painting, textiles, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture and digital art practice. You will be able to research information and develop knowledge of historical and contemporary art practice. As you progress, you will be able to develop your ideas, analytical skills and communication skills. In the third stage, you will be working through a self generated final major project, which will be exhibited in an end of the year show. You will also have an opportunity to take part in the Arts Awards scheme to broaden your awareness of wider art practice. There will be a series of gallery visits to London and visits within Norfolk on a regular basis, plus the opportunity of a study visit to a European destination. Many degree courses require students to undertake a Foundation Diploma prior to application. Objective: This challenging course is primarily designed to support students in making informed decisions in progression to higher education. Assessment: The course is assessed both internally and externally. The first two stages will be internally assessed through visual portfolios, sketchbooks and exhibited work. The third stage will be externally assessed through a final major project. This will also be through exhibition.
