DES303

Level 3 Design (DES303)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Miss E. Blackmore.

Level 3 Design builds on the knowledge, skills and techniques that students have gained in completing a Level 2 course in Design. Students will continue to use the work of selected designers and artists to inform and inspire their own progress. At Level 3 students are expected to be able to take greater ownership and responsibility for their work and teaching will facilitate and nurture an independent style of learning. A range of approaches to Design will continue to include sketching, collage, photography, digital processes, found materials and installation work and the use of industry standard software will be extended.

Level 3 Design is a University Entrance approved subject and students will be expected to ideally have their own laptop running the Adobe Suite
