This course aims to develop your creative and expressive abilities, as well as providing you with skills in areas such as problem-solving, communication, research, and holistic thinking. You will be taught new techniques and approaches in disciplines such as painting, printmaking, photography, 3D, and textiles. For those students intending to take the subject further, the course will also provide excellent preparation for studying Art & Design at university. This is a challenging and fulfilling course that allows you to explore and develop your creativity and acquire the type of transferable skills to which universities and employers attach particular importance. Studying something practical and creative frequently enables students to achieve a helpful balance in their overall course programme. At SWPS we have excellent art studios and facilities, and two practising artists on our team.
We would normally require you to have achieved at least Grade 6 in GCSE Art & Design. However, students who did not complete an Art GCSE may be accepted on the basis of their recent artwork, at the discretion of the Head of Art & Design.
