The course aims to encourage an adventurous and enquiring approach to the subject within an understanding of past and contemporary art, craft and design practice. The disciplines encountered within the department include drawing, painting, printmaking, graphic design, animation, textiles, fashion, ceramics and sculpture. There is opportunity to work principally within the digital arts. The A Level course consists of a series of challenging projects over the two years and an examination project culminating in a 15-hour exam taken at the end of the second year. Our approach is centred around an introductory period of the formal elements; giving students the opportunity to engage in a huge range of media and processes at a more advanced and refined level. This knowledge enables our students to make informed decisions about areas they would like to pursue through self-directed projects in the second year of the course. Students are supported and encouraged as independent learners, developing an artistic and personal professionalism towards their studies and possible future careers in the arts. The A level course also gives students the opportunity to see the world of the Arts as a vibrant part of their own community through projects as diverse as local murals, charity Christmas cards and posters for local societies. The course also has an integral careers programme with lectures from prominent University Arts courses, Careers Days, Portfolio preparation days and talks from ex-students currently working in the Art & Design Industries.
