Course summary

Art encourages pupils to develop intellectual, imaginative and creative skills and therefore goes well with any of the creative subjects on offer but, it is also a great companion course for practically any other area of study. It provides entry to Degree or Foundation Art and Design courses which in turn, can lead to careers in any of the following areas: Fine Art, Graphic Design, Product Design, Interior and Theatre Design, Film, TV or Digital Media, Photography, Fashion and Textiles, Advertising, Publishing, Architecture, Landscape and Environmental Design Conservation/Restoration, Gallery and Museum work and this is by no means an exhaustive list!
