Recommended Prior LearningAt Level 2, students follow an individualised program that builds on Level 1 Design and Photography. They explore themes such as architecture, still life, or portraiture by researching photographers and developing ideas. Students learn to use a camera and editing techniques to create a cohesive body of work, while also analysing established artists to inform their own creativity. This course offers more independent working options to prepare for Level 3 requirements.
An achieved or better in Level 1 VA course is recommended, or by approval from HOD.
Level 3 Art Photography, Level 3 Art Printmaking, Level 3 Art Sculpture
