If your career aspirations lie in the visual creative arts this could be the course for you. Challenging and rigorous, the BTEC Extended Diploma is equivalent to three A levels and is suited to those of a self-motivated nature, providing an excellent all-round experience of fine art, graphic design, photography, fashion, textiles, illustration and product design, as it gives you the extensive practical skills and knowledge to succeed on an art and design degree. Independence is key and you will be encouraged to express your individuality and interests through the work you produce. A wide range of media is available for your to embrace, such as drawing, painting, printmaking, 3D making processes, digital media and photography; whilst at the same time intensifying your research and analysis of artists and their work. This will provide you with meaningful insight into the techniques and processes of professional artists and designers, inspiring you to respond in your own way.
A minimum of 22 points from the student's best five GCSE/IGCSE/BTEC (or equivalent) courser or higher are essential for BTEC Art & Design, together with a portfolio of art/design work.
