Course summary
Art and design affect countless aspects of the world around us. Numerous industries from architecture to fashion, advertising to fine art, all rely on the study and interpretation of the visual world. Artists and designers concern themselves with the aesthetics and shaping our world through beauty and design. Arts subjects encourage self-expression and creativity and can build confidence as well as a sense of individual identity. This course will equip students with the investigative and practical skills required to produce original and well executed art and design work. Students will build a body of work which will serve as a portfolio for both university and industry interviews.
