    This high-energy Art and Design course will give an understanding of the different areas within Art and Design, from fundamental key skills to ideas-based work, including exploration and investigation in a wide range of materials, techniques, and processes.

    In this course you will learn about the main areas of 2D and 3D art and design, conceptual art, installation, and multimedia. You'll get hands-on experience and can choose to focus more in depth on the areas you like best, including disciplines like printmaking, sculpting, photography, fashion/textiles and more!

    We want you to have all the tools and support you need to be creative. You'll have access to art facilities, resources, equipment, and lots of different techniques. Through communication and discourse, you will embark on a journey of discovery into professional art practices and we will encourage you to try new things and take risks with your art.

    You'll also get to learn about artists from the past and present, which will inspire you and help you understand how the art world works. We'll teach you about professional practices so you can grow as an artist and designer.

    Glyn Taylor-Marshall

    Tutor - Art and Design & Performing Arts

    My specialist area is in the arts, where I am versed in most mediums, e.g. performance skills/theatre, fine art, and contemporary/conceptual processes, including Live Art. I hold a BA in Fine art and an MA in Performance Studies. My teaching degree also specialises in learners with additional needs, and I hold a further qualification at Level 5 in Special Needs Education. I am an avid record collector, and I feel it is important to introduce my learners to all parts of popular culture, including music, politics and current ethical topics.
