The A Level Art and Design course offers a wide variety of practical experiences through

lessons, gallery visits both regional and abroad, and established links with practicing

artists. The skills you will explore will be diverse, challenging and broadening. Amongst

them you will develop a working knowledge of materials, practices and technology within

though your own artistic journey. You will improve your imagination and creativity

through experimental and analytical work which are key skills transferred to all academic

practices. You will also develop a specialist critical vocabulary and the knowledge and

understanding of the place of Art, Craft and Design in history and in contemporary

society with an awareness of both traditional and new media. The Art course is the perfect

opportunity for digital designers, multimedia and traditional artists.
