Art and Design

Why Study Art and Design? 

The course emphasises:

• Responses to society and the modern world.

• The study of contemporary art, craft and design.

• The use of modern technology.

The two year course will be divided into three parts:

• Preparatory course work. Sketch book use, improving annotation, ceramics, painting, introduction to IT programs.

• Idea development: Develop planning skills, photography, film making, print making, evaluating artists work.

• Portfolio: Present a body of work based on reports from exhibitions, research work, prints, sculptures, photographs, paintings, graphic designs and films.

There will be opportunities to view exhibitions and to meet artists. There will be homework each week.
