Art & Design | Introduction to Art & Design
Why this course?
This is a highly practical and enjoyable course intended to further your skills in art and design with the aim of producing a portfolio of work.
You will explore formal elements of art such as line, tone, form, texture, colour and composition. You will also experiment with various techniques, processes and use of different media. We will look at the contemporary artists for inspiration and analyse their work.
There will be both group and individual tutorials to support your learning and you will be required to produce a body of developmental art and design work, including sketchbook work, which may be used for the development of your own creative practice or to assist with applications for future progression onto art and design courses.
