Level 2 Art Design
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs H. Son.
At Level 2, students work on an individualised program. Building on the foundations of design and photography from Level 1, students further develop skills and understanding of design through research of established and contemporary practice, the creation and manipulation of imagery, and concept generation. Students will develop a visual identity and a series of related briefs such as posters, tickets, flyers, billboards, murals and websites. This course introduces more independent working options in preparation for Level 3 requirements.
An achieved or better in either Level 1 VA course is recommended, or by approval from HOD.
