This course will be taught from Stroud Art School which was established in 1850's. Stroud School of Art is situated in the SGS Campus in Stroud. It has a long-standing reputation for nurturing artistic talent and creativity.
This one year level 6 programme, is studied after students have completed a HND or Foundation Degree. The core aim of the BA Design and Materials (Level 6) course is to enable you, the student, to find your individual identity as a designer and maker and to help you locate yourself in the wider world of the creative industries in relevant ways. It is aimed at students who wish to further their development in areas including studio ceramics, jewellery, textiles, print and enamelling, taking advantage of the established reputation for these specialisms at Bristol School of Art, Queens Road and Stroud School of Art at SGS College. The course is interdisciplinary in nature (enabling and encouraging you to work in more than one material or process area) and you will explore a wide range of media and processes to arrive at your own direction whilst actively taking part in creative conversations and debates in the studio, workplaces (visits and placements) and through our lecture and seminar programme. A lively and experimental approach is encouraged; practical workshops will allow you to explore and develop skills using a wide range of 2D and 3D materials and digital media. It is regarded as critical to your development that you are free to move between areas and can seek out and devise means to combine materials and processes as appropriate to your aims.
The course aims are to provide you, the student, with opportunities to:-
.Develop the ability to be self-motivated, work independently and reflect on and evaluate your individual practice.
.Acquire an in-depth and current understanding of the potential of a range of materials and processes relevant to your chosen areas of exploration and their use within the design process.
.Acquire a systematic and thorough knowledge of your discipline and the wider design/craft fields within the creative industries, and the relevant historical, theoretical and social contexts within which it sits and an ability to confidently apply it to your own practice.
.Clearly articulate a distinctive individual and professional approach to the design and making of a range of resolved personal work. This should reflect a clear understanding of professional practice and codes of conduct.
.Develop a comprehensive range of analytical and critical strategies for research that will inform your approach to creative thinking and the making of your practical work together with an ability to communicate confidently visually, verbally and in writing
.Acquire and successfully demonstrate the professional and transferrable skills necessary to pursuing a career as a successful practitioner in the creative industries.
