This programme gives learners the opportunity to explore two different areas, those of Art and Design. Learners are encouraged to experiment with different media, resistant and non-resistant materials used in the generic disciplines of Art, 3D Design (Product and Spatial) and Fashion. Learners learn skills using different workshops and related tools and technology, as well as learn the theoretical aspects of various specialist areas, with awareness of health and safety priorities. Another important aspect of the course is the development of the learners’ communication skills.
