This course is perfect for people that are interested in developing their art skills, working in a range of different disciplines.
This course is not for beginners, but students with a range of skills already that would like the time and space to develop and advance these.
This is a year long programme to give you the opportunity to fully develop and explore your art skills. You will take part in a variety of workshops in our specialist studios, from photography, ceramics, printmaking, 3D, to create a range of interesting work. Your tutor will also set you projects to work on and support you in creating interesting and engaging artworks.
You will be shown how to work digitally, uploading your photographs and presenting these professionally to create a portfolio of work on our College computers.
You will receive an induction into our well resourced art and design department, as well as supportive tutoring, new knowledge and skills in material use, and opportunities to develop your creativity.

If you get remitted fees and attend your course for free, if you do not attend the first two sessions without letting the tutor know or without valid reason, you will be withdrawn from the course.
