To break it down for you, you will follow one of two pathways. If you’re into drawing, illustration, painting, printmaking, graphic design and Photoshop digital skills and concept art, then you will follow the Communication Pathway, which also involves ideas and concepts exploration within fine art projects. If making things is your thing then you’ll follow the 2D and 3D Pathway, which will allow you to work on design solutions and craft work, working in woods, metals and plastics as well as ceramics and textile fibre.
The Level 1 programme in this area includes photography, computing, games, graphics and TV production with the chance to progress to level 2 in one of these areas in the future.
