The Foundation Degree Art and Design programme is for anyone who wishes to develop their current creative awareness. You will develop your practical skills as well as build your confidence, enabling you to move into the commercial world and the numerous creative opportunities that will be open to you.
You will be encouraged to explore traditional and non- traditional ways of working, develop technical skills and discover your innermost artist or designer.
The modules you will study will include practical and theoretical work, embracing individual and group activities. You will undertake various forms of research which will develop into experimentation - from which finished outcomes will emerge. This process is supported with critical-thinking essays, reflective documentation and evaluations.
You will explore 20th and 21st century fine art and design practice, starting with traditional modes of expression like painting, drawing and print, where you will study formal elements such as colour tone and composition. You will incorporate these methodologies through a variety of practical techniques that show keys processes in sculpture, studio ceramics, and commercial product design.
You will also learn how to make paint from scratch, as well as work with wood, stone and metal.
The breadth and depth of knowledge learned will ultimately be applied into specialist briefs, which are devised by students and incorporate professional and entrepreneurial guidelines designed to help you function as an artist in the wider world - including working in the public domain.
PROGRESSION
Upon successful completion of this course, you will have the opportunity to specialise as a fine artist or as a commercial designer. Alternatively, you can move on to study the Creative Industries programme at Petroc, or another art-related course at university.
