BTEC Art & Design

Welcome to BTEC Art & Design

Description of Course

The course is designed to be adaptable to your needs, interests and career aspirations: it consists of seven compulsory core units which give learners an introduction to Ideas and Concepts in Art and Design, Communicating through Art and Design, Contextual Influences, Materials and Techniques and Visual Recording. You will study six optional units which provide further opportunities for you to develop your own portfolio of Art work, such areas as, Graphic Design, Photography, Textiles and aspects of Film and Animation.

The course provides a vocational alternative to the traditional A-Level Fine Art course. We recommend that you choose this option if you are significantly better at coursework than examinations and if you do not intend to study any other A-Level courses and wish to build a rich portfolio of Art work in preparation for interviews for further education and or job applications within the Arts industries.
