Level 3 Visual Art Design
Course Description
Level Three Visual Art Design
The course is designed to extend the knowledge and skills taught in Level Two Design and to prepare students for tertiary study. Students will expand on their knowledge of photography, illustration, Photoshop techniques, designers, styles and deepen their designing abilities. Students will design their own project and be supported through the portfolio development process. Students will use the Adobe Creative Suite to create their designs and will have an emphasis on photography and illustration. This course is suitable for students that have done photography, design and drawing and is especially recommended for those students who want to apply for Graphic Design and Fine Art courses.
Students need to have completed Level Two Design for entry into this course. In exceptional circumstances a student without Level Two Design may gain entry into the course, but this is assessed on an individual basis and requires an interview and approval of the Head of Department.
