In this course, you will be challenged to investigate a diverse range of Art and Design media, develop your own innovative visual language and unleash your creative potential, both as an individual and a collaborator. Do you have a lively, enquiring mind? Do you enjoy developing your ideas through creative exploration of different media, expanding your skills and building toward a final project? This course provides an opportunity for those who have an interest in the visual arts to explore, develop and test their creativity within a qualification structure which is stimulating and demanding and provides a supportive transition from further to higher education. The Creative Practice Level 3 Extended Diploma offers a fantastic opportunity for you to explore a range of exciting creative techniques and processes, through a series of vocationally relevant projects.
This course is aimed primarily at those who have recently completed their secondary education and is a practically based programme that covers a broad range of Art and Design subjects. The qualification has been written with the support of University of the Arts London Institutions including Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London College of Communication, London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Art.
The course will prepare you with the skills and creative thinking these institutions and other HE institutions require for their undergraduate courses. The course will give you the knowledge, skills and understanding to explore, develop and test your creativity in areas such as fine art, graphics, 3D, textile processes, ceramics, printmaking, drawing, mixed media image creation, specialist design software, contextual studies, and photography.
You will need 4 GCSEs at Grade 4 or above to include either English Language or Literature and/or Maths. A merit on a relevant level 2 diploma can also be considered.
In addition to general entry requirements for L3 Diploma courses, a keen interest in drawing to develop your creativity, as a design stimulus and as a means of gathering creative ideas and making them visible is absolutely essential.
