Course summary

Students who study Art and Design are able to develop exciting and innovative visual responses to the world around them. This A Level course teaches students to research, analyse, explore, review and develop their own projects. One-to-one tutorials are key to supporting students in the direction and media in which they wish to work, building confidence and opening up creative pathways for them to explore. Art students are taught using wide range of learning approaches, including whole class teaching, demonstrations of techniques and processes, one to one tutorials, individual enquiry and practical investigation. Art students become creative thinkers; they are adept at problem solving, unafraid to take risks, like to challenge perceptions and can produce exciting and thoughtful outcomes. These are skills that are widely sought after in most professions and particularly in those such as architecture, illustration, fashion and textiles, graphic design, web and games design, photography, film and special effects.
