Art and Design Stockton Sixth Form College

AS/A2 FINE ART
The majority of your work will be in 2D but will involve working with a wide range of materials, including mixed media. Students can work in any appropriate medium within their private study/sketch books.
We believe strongly that working from life and acquiring skills from looking and responding provide the basis for creative development. Consequently the majority of the course is based on working with still life sets and the human figure.
The course is challenging and requires the student to work independently away from the studio for a minimum of 3 hours a week, as well as regular studio attendance.

AS/A2 TEXTILES
The majority of your work will be created using Textile techniques and will involve working with a wide range of materials, including printing, dyeing fabrics, stitch, knit and weave. Students can work in any appropriate medium within their private study/sketch books.
Consequently the majority of the course is based on learning textile techniques and applying them to your chosen pathway of fashion, interior design or furnishing/domestic textiles. The course is challenging and requires the student to work independently away from the studio for a minimum of 3 hours a week, as well as regular studio attendance.
