A central element of the course is problem solving by working through fun tasks, taking risks and developing new ideas. Stimulating and demanding projects will challenge you to think about how and why you make art work.

You will get plenty of support in finding new ways to research and investigate and all your experiences on the course will help you discover your creative strengths and what you can bring to the world as an artist, designer or maker.
