Art and Design

Course summary

The study of Art and Design will develop your ability to appreciate the visual world and to respond to it in a personal and creative way. The main teaching takes place through practical studio work but your investigation of artists and designers will help you gain an understanding of the ideas and issues that confront artists today and is an essential part of your studies. We will be working towards the Art and Design: Fine Art A-Level course oered by the Welsh Examination board under the brand name of EDUQAS. This two-year course builds on the knowledge gained at GCSE but allows for a period to develop skills and experiment in new areas before committing to developing work for assessment.
