Are you creative? Do you like films, drawing, painting, making things, taking pictures, using the computer? Do you enjoy learning through practical hands-on experience? On this course you will carry out activities to do with Art & Design, where you produce your own Ceramics and Computer Graphics, where you can create your own CD or I-pod cover. 

You will also create your very own project where you look at all aspects of portraiture, including artists who work in that genre, finally producing your own interpretation of what portraiture means to you personally. At the end of the year you will present your work in an exhibition at the college to which you can invite members of staff in the college, friends and family.

The Level One BTEC Art & Design course is part of the new foundation learning qualifications designed with schools, colleges, universities, awarding bodies and employers to broaden the choice of courses for 16-19 year olds.

As well as developing new skills in these areas you will be studying English, Maths and ICT as part of your BTEC course. Trips to museums, art galleries to investigate paintings and sculpture and visits to the theatre, where you get to go back stage are an essential part of the course. You will have the opportunity to talk to visiting professionals who work in creative and media and go to Rich Mix a well-known multi-media complex in Shoreditch where you will be able to interview musicians.
