This is a foundation course for all L2 and L3 senior specialist Art programmes; Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture. This course is broad-based, covering Drawing, Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture. Photography is introduced to create resource images and to support compositional understanding . Students independently respond to a provided theme over the course of the year, developing technical skills that enable them to explore, develop and resolve ideas visually.
