· modelmaking
· working with clients

You will also learn design principles and a range of skills relating to the articulation of space through the use of perspective drawings. Presentation skills and historical and contextual studies will also be included. As in all Art and Design areas, the course is underpinned by sound observational drawing skills.
Assessment:
Continuous assessment, participation in an exhibition and a final end of year project.
Next Steps:
This course will provide you with the training necessary to progress to either HND or Degree level study in interior or set design or into employment in visual merchandising in the interior design sector or related area.
