What is Design

What this course involves
In level 2 design, students can study, develop and produce a body of work. They will learn to critically engage, evaluate and investigate artistic procedures and practices. Although the emphasis is on design, student work can demonstrate influences from printmaking, photography, painting and sculpture.
