Art and Design (3d Studies)

Course summary

By studying the A-level Linear course you will understand the circular nature of the design process from concept, research, experimentation, formulation and analysis of a brief through to the realisation of your finished piece. A CROYDON HIGH 3D DESIGN PUPIL SHOULD BE • Passionate about Design • A keen observer, recorder and gatherer: making quick designs, taking photographs, making notes and diary notes, noting thoughts and drawing diagrams • A risk taker! Experimenting, taking controlled risks, evaluating and trying again…and again… The study of Three-Dimensional Design at A level is looked upon favourably by admissions tutors for most university courses. For some girls, it may lead to a future career in the Art and Design fields including Graphics, Fashion, Theatre, Jewellery Design, Interior Design, Product Design, Photography, Architecture, Advertising or Illustration. In the last few years, we have had pupils go on to study Veterinary, Industrial Design, Engineering, Product Design, and Interior Design as well as postgraduate courses in Sustainable Design. In addition, many people working in Film, Television, Fashion Management, Engineering, Technology, Mathematics, Physics and Journalism were also pupils of three-dimensional design. Whatever your choice of future direction, Three-Dimensional Design will encourage you in your approaches to study and thinking not always available in other subjects at this level.
