Art and Design

Course details

We provide an intensive year of learning to introduce a wide range of skills and practices. We encourage the development of ideas through drawing and personal research. This course covers a broad selection of practical and academic disciplines. On completion of the course, the student should have a body of work which shows a wide range of experience as well as a sense of focus and direction.

In the second and third terms of the year, many of the students will be applying to third level colleges of Art and Design. Guidance and assistance in selecting and organising work into a portfolio will be available to these students.
