Why study Art & Design (Level 2)?
This hands-on, project-driven course is ideal for students with a strong interest in exploring traditional and contemporary art and design practices. You’ll experiment with a wide range of materials and techniques—drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking, —while developing your creative thinking, visual communication, and portfolio-building skills.
This course is designed for students who enjoy working with physical materials, have an interest in visual storytelling through fine art, and are considering careers in fields such as graphic design, illustration, interior design, or fashion. If you’re passionate about personal expression through art-based mediums and want to build a strong foundation in core art and design principles, this course is for you.
Successful completion may lead to Level 3 Art and Design, apprenticeships, or junior roles in creative industries.
