Art and Design
Course summary
The main aim of the course is to develop your ability to appreciate the visual world in a personal and creative way. You will develop a working knowledge of materials, processes and technologies within art and design contexts and develop an in depth understanding and appreciation of Art History. The best foundation for success is a good grade at Level 2 BTEC; this is the correct work ethic for Level 3 study. Coursework covers both 2D and 3D outcomes and students are encouraged to explore their own avenues of study within assignment briefs. This is an exciting course which aims to equip you for the world of work or further education study.
