Course Details
This course is available to those aged 16–18, or up to 24 if you have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
In year one of this course, you will learn about the creative process to help you develop your own creative ideas, solutions, and outcomes. Throughout this year, you will engage in a diagnostic investigation into various art and design practices. This investigation is designed to allow you to explore a broad spectrum of art and design disciplines, aiding your creative journey.
In year two, you will continue to refine your skills and deepen your understanding of the creative process in art and design. This year, your focus will shift to a specific area of practice, such as fashion, photography, or graphics. You will create a portfolio of your work and prepare applications for universities.
To culminate the year, an art show is organised where your work is displayed. Parents and guests are invited to this event, celebrating the successful completion of your course.
