FTB041 PTB503
1 YEAR, FULL-TIME (2 DAYS PER WEEK) 2 YEARS, PART-TIME (1 DAY PER WEEK)
Packed with content, experimenting in 2D and 3D, with key seminars to introduce core art history especially within Modernism. With guided tasks leading towards more independent project work as your skills develop, this Access to Higher Education Art and Design course will open doors to Higher Education. If you always wanted to study on a creative degree programme but haven’t the relevant experience this course could be for you. The course would also suit adults who would like to further their understanding of the art world, be within an inspiring environment and become more focused on their own creativity.
The course begins with an exploratory phase to help you discover and experiment with materials and ideas. Alongside this, you will be made aware of artists' and designers' work that may inspire and fuel your ideas and help you to find where you fit as an artist within the broader framework of art and design. The projects that follow, allow for more independent thinking and will help you discover your specialist interests that could potentially lead towards a specialist degree course. The course will enable you to build a portfolio of work, sketchbook studies and written study skills, all of which you would need for an HE Interview.
