Course programme
Summary
Do you enjoy drawing, being creative, thinking about the visual? Would you like to extend your ideas and develop a range of skills? Are you interested in eventually studying for a degree in art and design? If you have had some recent involvement with art and design, and enjoy independent learning this could be the course for you.
Evidence of working from observation and first-hand material through drawing and painting - we welcome the use of any media when drawing and painting. Use of colour in your work. Development of a project - looking at how you research, experiment, develop and resolve an idea or body of work
Evidence of looking at and referencing other artists and designers who have influenced you. Any of the following if you have experience of these: printmaking, 3D work - sculpture and modelling, textiles - work with cloth and materials, collage, mixed media work. We would like to see the original works rather than copies or images on digital media (phones, tablets, memory sticks). A piece of writing about an exhibition you have visited in the last six months to one year. (Up to one side of A4, word processed). As this is a level 3 course you will need to be ready to work at this level.
You will spend two days a week in our well-equipped studios working with enthusiastic and committed tutors, who are all practicing artists, across a range of disciplines. You will also study Contextual Studies for 2.5 hours/week which will help prepare you for the theoretical element of all degree courses. It will include lectures, discussion groups, essays and practical work. Our aim is to help you develop a critical awareness of why you do what you do rather than just showing you how to do something.
