- Overview
Runshaw College is an approved centre for UAL Awarding Body Level 2 in Art & Design.
In this one-year course, you will explore a wide range of 2D and 3D media, techniques, and processes, working through the design process; completing primary research from which you will create initial ideas, and then developing these into a final piece. You will use the work of other artists to inspire you, as well as analysing and evaluating your own artwork. As part of the course, you will also study English and Maths and will develop employability skills.
‘Time for Tea’ was a one-day pop-up exhibition to showcase the Level 2 Art and Design students’ work. The theme was food and students created a range of 3D outcomes in clay, felt, wire and cardboard. Staff and students were invited to view and celebrate the fantastic work on display.
