Course Description:
September 2009 - July 2010 This accredited art course is delivered over 3 terms and is designed to prepare students for entry onto an art degree course or for other career choices in the fields of art and design. It is suitable for both school leavers and mature students. Students are helped to realize their full potential in art and design by acquiring traditional skills which they can develop into specialist areas of their choice. To ensure that students receive strong tutorial support a maximum number of 14 are recruited. In the first term students follow a timetable planned to introduce them to a wide range of art curriculum subjects with an emphasis on learning core skills which can be assimilated and extended creatively. In the second term, in addition to the ongoing core programme, students will focus on specialist areas and each student will be given an individual timetable appropriate for their chosen areas of study. In the third term students will continue to develop their abilities and consolidate their skills into a major project and final exhibition.
