Why study Art and Design? Artists, craftspeople and designers all follow a creative process, in which they explore and develop approaches to communicating ideas visually. When generating and developing new ideas they are pro-active, persistent and self-motivated. Producing creative, dynamic and exciting outcomes, they can inspire and challenge the viewer through interaction with their work and engagement with their ideas. This course will help you to develop these skills shared by all the successful professionals in the art and the design world. What can I expect? Art and Design is mainly a practical subject. You will be expected to work on your projects and your preparatory work inside and outside of the classroom and to carry out independent work where you show your personal views and critical thinking. In addition, you will be expected to record your work accurately in writing and to write an essay. This is essential for the successful completion of the course.
