Level 2 Art and Design Course in Blackpool. Classes run at Blackpool and The Fylde College University Centre Campus, part-time during the day over 18 weeks.

The course covers core techniques in drawing, composition, colour, and visual communication. You'll explore different media and develop your own creative ideas. A key part of the course is building a portfolio of work that shows your skills and creative development.

You'll finish with a Level 2 Diploma in Art and Design, awarded by the University of the Arts London.
