Art and Design (Graphics)

Course summary

The course follows a two year linear structure. Students will learn how to use various visual arts techniques including printmaking, digital image manipulation software (Adobe Photoshop) and drawing techniques alongside contextual knowledge about graphic design as an art form. Lessons focus on a creative journey where students can discover their own route informed by lesson content where they are provided with the necessary skills and creative techniques in order to make a personal response. It is expected that students complete class based tasks in addition to undertaking practical and sketchbook work outside of college time. All work is documented in a sketchbook format and final works are compiled in a portfolio format.
