About this course

Free Level 3 Art and Design Course in Teignmouth. Classes run full-time at Teignmouth Community School. You'll explore a wide range of photographic media, techniques and processes, covering both traditional and new technologies. The course introduces you to art, craft and design from different periods and cultures, including European and non-European examples. Practical work and investigation sit at the heart of your studies. The course runs over 18 months. To join, you'll need a grade 6 or above in art or photography at GCSE, or submit a portfolio of work for consideration.

Who this course is for

You will be introduced to a variety of experiences that explore a range of photographic media, techniques and processes. You will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies. You will have the opportunity to explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to a range of art, craft and design, from the past and from recent times, including European and non-European examples. This should be integral to the investigating and making processes. Your practical responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities that demonstrate your understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. You will be given a sketchbook to underpin you work. You may wish to develop their drawing skills in order to produce storyboards, thumbnail sketches and/or diagrams, where appropriate.
