Who is the course for? You should have an interest in creating and understanding art and the determination to develop that interest. The main purpose of the course is to develop your ability to appreciate the visual world and to respond in a personal and creative way. The skills you will develop will be varied. Among them, you will develop a working knowledge of materials, practices and technology in one or more of the disciplines within art. You will develop the skills to interpret and convey your ideas and feelings using art, craft and design. You will develop your immaginative and creative powers and your experimental, analytical and documenting skills.
