Art & Design Access to HE OCNLR Level 3 Diploma

UPDATED 20160211 11:42:57

An access course is designed to enable people aged 19+ to gain a qualification which is accepted by universities as an alternative to A??? Levels. It is delivered over one year as opposed to the two years required for A ???Levels. It is therefore ideal for anyone who left school without formal qualifications, or for people who wish to change career. The Access Art & Design prepares students to progress on to a wide range of undergraduate and higher diploma courses in the creative arts. 85% of our learners from 2014/15 progressed onto top London universities including Chelsea, St Martin's and Kingston studying graphic design, fine art and architecture. It is a practical, studio-based course with academic elements to extend students creative skills and build critical understanding. The course is primarily project-based and covers the basic principles of art, design and media. You will engage with the contemporary and historical practice of visual art in both studio as well as academic work. Please note: If you enrol on an Access course this year you will be eligible to enrol on an additional short leisure course of your choice starting in the Autumn term, free of charge.You will expand your creative and technical skills by investigating the fundamental principles at the heart of all art and design practice. This includes drawing, painting, 3D, printmaking, collage, design process, photography and digital manipulation. As the course progresses, students will work within their chosen area of specialism - fine art, 3d design, spatial design, graphics/illustration or textiles and fashion. You will be extending your research skills and take an individual approach to interpreting project briefs. By developing analytical skills and the ability to work independently, a personalised art and design portfolio is generated for university application. During the final part of the course you will be working on a final project and participating in an end of year exhib
