Who can join this course

The UAL Awarding Body Level 2 Award in Art and Design has been developed to provide students with an interest in Art and Design with the opportunity to explore the materials, methods and processes that support art and design activities, and to begin to develop some related technical skills.
This Award will provide students with an introduction to Art and Design, enabling them to both re-engage with education and acquire the requisite knowledge, skills and understanding to progress to further education or employment in the creative industries.
The qualification is delivered through two linked units to provide a stimulating and supportive experience while developing a portfolio of work.
Unit 1 Introduction to materials, processes and technical skills in Art and Design
Unit 2 Introduction to contextual research in Art and Design

Is this course for me

For anyone interested in continuing their Art and Design studies, exploring and experimenting with materials and processes while getting a Level 2 qualification in Art and Design through UAL, University of Arts London.
There will be 60 hours of tutor led tuition with 9 hours of supervised but not taught studio time with the expectation you will complete a further 21 hours unsupervised work towards your 2 Units.

Course aims

By the end of the course you should be able to:

* Select and compare, through experimental application, a range of materials and processes in support of creative activity
* Demonstrate and assess the use of materials, processes and technical skills to affect the appearance and meaning of images and objects in art and design
* Demonstrate the use of contextual knowledge to inform and develop ideas for creative activity
* Develop a portfolio of your own work for Assessment

What will I need for my course

You will be required to provide all your own materials for the course and the tutor will direct you to when these are needed. You will create a portfolio of work and your starting point can be an A2 sketchbook to record your ideas. I would bring along your sketchbook and drawing pencils such as 2B and 4B to the first lesson to get you started.
