Applied Art and Design Double Award
"I chose to study Applied Art and
Design at A level because I‘ve
always had a passion for art. The
course really prepares you for
working in the art and design
industry. The art department offers
students a number of trips both for
inspirational purposes and to give
you an idea of what you might be
doing after education. I would
recommend the course to anyone with
a passion for creativity. Applied
Art and Design is a huge commitment
so it’s essential you’re prepared to
do the required work. We are given
the opportunity to write our own
briefs so we can choose something
that will sustain our interest. I’ve
thoroughly enjoyed the first year of
the course I’ve completed so far,
and I’ve become aware of the
standard/quantity of work it takes
to get the grades you want.
Throughout the two years you develop
a range of skills including
photography, life drawing, and
anything else you want to study.
What makes the applied course
different from the Art and Design
course is that it’s considered the
equivalent of a Foundation Course,
there’s more work, and it’s much
less guided. This gives students the
freedom to experiment in whatever
genre of art they see fit, and
therefore develop their individual
skills as an artist.”
