Level 2 Visual Art Design
Course Description
Level Two Visual Art Design
Students will focus on developing a ‘visual identity’ and will solve design briefs that include logos, posters, magazine and product design. Students will use the Adobe Creative Suite to create their designs, which will have an emphasis on photography and illustration. During the year, students will develop a sustainability focused advertising campaign for their own individualised company. This course is designed to extend the knowledge and skills taught at Level One Design & Photography. This course introduces more independent working options in preparation for the Level Three Design course.
It is recommended that students have completed Level One Painting or Level One Design & Photography, but it is not required to gain entry into Level Two Visual Arts courses. Students who have not studied Visual Art at Level One will need to have passed their Level One certificate, and have an interview with the Visual Art Department to assess which Visual Arts course is best suited to the student. Priority into the Level Two Design course is given to students who have successfully completed a Level One Visual Arts course.
