What you will learn

  • You'll develop practical skills in drawing and painting across a range of materials and techniques.
  • You'll explore printmaking, mixed media, and sculpture to build your 3D creative skills.
  • You'll learn photography and digital imaging, including animation and video work.
  • You'll study how to research and apply contextual ideas to your creative projects.
  • You'll practise solving 2D and 3D creative problems through set briefs.
  • You'll develop and produce a personal project, planning and realising your own creative idea.
  • You'll build communication skills specific to presenting and explaining art and design work.

How you will learn

You'll learn through studio-based practical work, covering materials, processes, and technical skills across multiple disciplines. Assessment is through a portfolio of work and a personal project. Units cover contextual research, drawing skills, communication in art and design, and solving creative problems in 2D, 3D, and time-based formats. All learning and assessment takes place at the college during daytime sessions.

What you will need to bring

You'll need pens, pencils, acrylic paints, and a general equipment work box including a glue stick. East Surrey College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Graphic design assistant. Entry-level role in studios or agencies.
  • Photography assistant. Supporting shoots in commercial or portrait settings.
  • Visual merchandiser. Creating displays for retail environments.
  • Animator (junior). Entry-level work in games, film, or digital media.
  • Printmaker. Working in studios or small creative businesses.
  • Art technician. Supporting art departments in schools or colleges.

What you could study next

The natural next step is the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Art and Design, which goes deeper into a specialist area and is widely accepted for entry to art foundation and degree programmes. From there, a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design (Level 3 or 4) prepares you for undergraduate study at art and design universities, including UAL courses. If you want to move into a specific creative field, Level 3 qualifications in Graphic Design, Photography, or Games Design are also options worth exploring.
