Advanced Art & Design

QQI Level 6 Certificate in Art 6M4029

Duration: 3 Day Week September to May

Coordinator: Annmarie Greevy

The overall aim of the Advanced Art & Design programme is to provide the student with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and competence to work independently in a fine art/design context or to progress to higher education and training. This course is designed for those who want to develop a professional practice in the visual arts. It encourages creativity, increases skills and develops self-belief. By the end of the year students will have a collection of work complied through a series of projects which they will have the opportunity to showcase at the annual Art & Photography exhibition.

 

The course is suitable for:

  • Learners who have achieved a QQI level 5 Certificate in Art and would benefit from a second year to complete their portfolio preparation for entry to Institutes of Technology and Art Colleges.
  • Mature learners who have not achieved a formal qualification, but can demonstrate the levels of knowledge, skill and competence associated with QQI Level 5 Certificate in Art.
  • Artists who have achieved a degree or diploma in Art and have been unable to practice their work for some time. This course offers a safe, supportive, and creative environment to develop their practice and kick start their careers again.

ADVANCED ART & DESIGN

“I was a mature student in SCFE and achieved the QQI Level 6 award in Advanced Art. The encouragement and enthusiasm on the course helped me get a place in IADT, which I have deferred until next September as I am working in Signal Arts in Bray. I wanted to experience working in the area of Art before going on to college. Thanks again to everyone in SCFE.”
