School of Creative Industries
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.
