Course Content

This option provides a general art and design mix suitable for
portfolio preparation or general interest and enjoyment. Students will
be given an introduction to various art and design subjects. A
different subject will be covered every 2 or 4 weeks. Examples of
subjects covered include: drawing, lino block printing, surfaces,
printing, typography, graphic design and fashion.

The programme consists of practical work in the studio, group work
and visits to museums and galleries in order to gather research work
for students' projects. The emphasis of the course is on creativity,
learning to express ideas on paper and also making in three dimensions.

The programme changes regularly to provide a broadranging programme with something for everyone.

If you are preparing a portfolio we recommend taking 24 weeks of English Plus Art & Design.
