Course Overview

Ever thought how good it would be to discover your hidden creativity or to delve into a subject you love? Are you wanting to upskill yourself in art practice? If you are someone who would love a job in the creative industries or to develop your own artistic practice and identity, then this is the course for you! This course offers you as a student the opportunity to experience aspects of 2D and 3D Art and Design disciplines with a focus on drawing, painting, sculpture, print, digital media, contextual referencing and professional practice,(known as Fine Art disciplines). It is designed to deepen students knowledge across a broad vocational and academic base. You will be taught through a combination of studio based practical workshops and lecturers exploring processes, materials and ideas and will be encouraged to develop your own personal visual language within art and design. Attendance is one day a week in College but you are required to undertake independent study on a weekly basis. We welcome applications from mature students who will be considered individually based upon experience.

    I studied the OCN Level 2 Award in Bakery & Patisserie. My course was delivered in the College's kitchens. There was a sense of community and a warm relaxing atmosphere throughout. If I was to describe my experience in 3 words it would be fun, exciting and therapeutic!
