Art & Design, Foundation Diploma Level 3 Level 3, Full Time, 1 year 3

Summary

The UAL Art & Design - Foundation Diploma at City College Norwich is primarily designed for students who have completed A Levels, but need a one-year broad-based Art and Design course to prepare them for university and art school. This pivotal qualification has been designed to encourage exploration, experimentation and risk taking, which will extend the your critical independence and enable you to demonstrate a full understanding of the relevant standards required to achieve progression to higher education.

Students will develop independent ways of working, a greater critical awareness of their own work, and that of others, and also develop an understanding of the career opportunities in creative industries. You will develop a range of practical skills using a variety of media, explored through themed projects and will include 2D, 3D and time-based media. Subjects 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 year show.
