Art and Design

Course summary

This course is for students who want to continue studying Art and design after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the skills and techniques, but the A level will give you the chance to study in more depth and develop your own particular artistic strengths and interests. It will suit you if you are creative and enjoy combining theory with lots of practical work. Even if you aren't aiming for a career in art and design, this course will give you a set of transferable skills including creativity, communication and the ability to work independently which can be useful in a range of careers. You'll learn through practical hands on practice, classroom-based workshops, exercises, discussions, talks and presentations. There will be visits to museums and galleries, exhibitions and the opportunity to work alongside practicing artists and designers. You will be expected to complete independent study.
