Art and Design is intended for students who have a genuine interest in Art and Design. It is expected that candidates will have developed appropriate attainment, understanding and skill for their programme of study to be rewarding. All candidates embarking on this course of study must have previously studied CCSE Art and Design and achieve a grade ‘C’.

Students on the Art and Design Course will be taught how to: record observations, experiences, ideas, information and insights in a wide range of visual forms. Analyse and evaluate images, objects, artefacts and texts. Develop sustained investigations and explore a range of visual materials, processes and resources. Present articulate, personal, coherent and informed visual responses.

Studying Art and Design at this level is the natural route for students who wish to embark on a career/degree opportunity in the visual and related arts. Students can either progress to a foundation course or degree course on their level of attainment, expertise and experience.
