Are you interested in exploring your creativity and pursuing a career in the creative and visual arts? If so this one-year course is an excellent place to start.
There are endless career opportunities in the creative sector, with artists and designers contributing to everything we buy and see in the world around us, from book covers, packaging, advertising, to fashion, architecture, and much more.
This course will give you a strong foundation to work with a range of disciplines, such as drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, 3D work, graphics, textiles and fashion. You’ll benefit from work experience, trips, guest speakers, and in the summer term, you’ll showcase your final project to the public in a professional art exhibition.
You will need four GCSEs at grades 3-9, or equivalent (including English and maths)
AND
a portfolio of artwork/photography
Once completed you may be able to progress to study a Level 3 Art & Design, Fashion, Graphics or Photography course to advance your skills, or move to an Apprenticeship.
College is not just about your course – it’s an opportunity to have fun, meet new people and explore your interests! You can socialise with friends in the café and comfy seating areas, join a club or sports team or attend exciting events around the college. Many of our enrichment opportunities are also great on your CV or UCAS application to demonstrate your commitment and enthusiasm outside of your studies.
Your time at college can also be affected by life or health difficulties, and it’s okay to need support. Our specialist teams are here every day to listen and give advice, whether it’s about career planning, financial support, mental health, or something else. And if you have a long-term support need or medical condition, we’ll work with you on personalised learning support to help you achieve your full potential.
