Course Description

You will need to be available to attend BOTH Thursday & Friday.

You will be based in one of our inspirational art studios, working on a range of projects to build your portfolio and to learn new creative art skills.

This qualification gives learners the opportunity to develop their technical art and design skills through a process of studio practice, self-evaluation, and quality review. In addition to the sector-specific content available in this qualification, the requirements mean that learners develop the transferable skills needed to progress to further education and ultimately higher education and employment.

This qualification will also support learners towards becoming more confident and autonomous learners within their art practice, taking responsibility for the direction and content of their work.
