The focus of this full year course is to develop learners’ understanding and knowledge of practical art-making methods and ideas. Using ideas from established practice (artist models) is an important aspect of this course.
A systematic approach based on selected themes will be taken to create a body of work in drawing, painting and print making. All of the work is created by hand using a range of media. An investigation into local history informs one of the assessment standards.
This course is a highly recommended pre-requisite for study in Visual Arts at Level 2 as it builds on skills and knowledge required for the Level 2 Visual arts programmes.
