The Programme

A creative, practical course. You will work in several areas of Art, Craft and Design. You will have the opportunity to work in both 2 and 3 Dimensions, in expressive art and functional design. You will explore various ways of working with a wide range of media. You will explore the ideas and concepts behind your work through research, creative thinking and the development of your ideas and final outcomes. You will be encouraged to produce individual solutions to set briefs, so your work can progress in a direction of your own choice which may be traditional art processes or more design based activities such as fashion, textiles, millinery, footwear, jewellery, product design, furniture, architecture, graphic design, film, photography etc.

Both the AS and A2 Levels are modular programmes made up of a themed coursework unit followed by an externally set assignment which includes a timed piece of work. You will be introduced to many new ways of working and thinking about art, craft and design, and then encouraged to work individually to evolve your own solutions to a brief through discussion, research, experimentation and exploration.

Each year there will be the opportunity to take part in an educational visit to galleries and exhibitions, these visits are a really valuable and enjoyable great experience that past students have found invaluable in extending their studies.
