Art and Design

Course summary

We live in a visually saturated world; the creative industries are booming. Art is the perfect subject to study to develop your creative thinking skills, individuality and technique. A level lesson emphasis is on the ability to think laterally and to convey ideas to aid your progression in any career. Art & Design at SDC prepares you to think and act as an individual, to have clear and thoughtful research, to write and make creatively, and to use a huge array of practical technical skills, all of which make you a flexible and creative problem-solver. At SDC, we prioritise students becoming their own artists. We aim to facilitate student choice and freedom to experiment and try new techniques. Our strength lies within contemporary, conceptually engaging, socially aware art. Small class sizes and strong relationships allow students and teachers to work in an individualised and supported way.
