Skills developed during the Level 1 course will be applied to the generation of work, development of ideas and technical control of media.

Practice drawing skills of intended subject matter in a range of media. Extend drawing into another discipline of either printmaking or sculpture.
Term 2
Develop creative ideas using artist models as a springboard.
Term 1 and 2 generates work for the internal and panel 1 of the portfolio.
Term 3
Regenerate and synthesize ideas from term 1 and 2 into new work.
Complete work for panel 2 of the portfolio by end of term to allow time for study in other subject areas.
