Art and Design (including foundation year) - BA (Hons)

As a start you’ll undertake a broad range of short studio and workshop projects in visual imagery and practical making. These will help you to develop techniques that are common across all of our foundation year courses and introduce you to a work ethic of experimentation and open-mindedness. Following this you will approach open-ended, interpretive projects that will help you to establish a personal perspective and sense of direction.

All of our foundation year programmes allow you to develop techniques in:

observational, technical and creative drawing
2D and 3D composition
framing, sequence/series and narrative
studio and workshop skills
During your subject-specific projects you’ll also have the opportunity to explore:

conceptual modelling
performance
colour
materials
collage
composition
curating
exhibiting

The course is suitable for anyone planning a career in art and design and the cultural and creative industries. Please see the career opportunities under the various relevant undergraduate degree courses on to which you can progress.
