Course overview

At Level 2, students will immerse themselves in a dynamic and professional range of traditional art and design skills. From drawing and painting to 3D sculpture and graphic design, you'll explore a wide variety of materials and learn how to bring them to life in your work. You'll master the essentials of visual language, tone, color, shape, form, and composition, while developing a final project that highlights the techniques and materials you've explored. Throughout the year, you'll also build broader skills by collaborating with local artists, visiting galleries, and exhibiting your own creations. After completing this course, you'll be ready to progress to a T Level or Art and Design Level 3, where your creative journey continues to soar!
