What is Art & Design?
When we think of Art and Design
we may think of painting and drawing, and we understand this subject to be very
creative. There is, however, far more to this subject than initially meets the
eye.
Art and Design is a broad
creative subject that focuses on hands-on learning. In this subject, you will
develop a well-rounded understanding of the creative process through direct
experience with a variety of visual media, like painting, drawing, sculpture,
and graphic design. This is also a subject that enables you to develop your
ideas and personal artistic style.
Fine Art or Design
When deciding on a creative career,
the first thing to consider is whether you want to specialise in Fine Art or
Design. Despite the fact that these two occupations are interwoven, the primary
focus of art careers is on the creation of things with aesthetic appeal, meaning
or a response to a topic or theme.
Design
careers, on the other hand, are concerned with recognising creative needs or
possibilities and then developing design solutions to address them. This form
of creativity often has a more functional approach.
Transferrable skills
Whether you choose to pursue Fine
Art or Design, each area will assist you in developing the transferable skills
and knowledge necessary for a creative career.
You'll learn the basics of each
medium and how to incorporate them into your own creative projects. You will
learn research techniques and investigate a variety of topics such as 2D and 3D
skills, colour theory, texture, composition, planning, critical thinking,
context, and the development of a design concept or an artwork plan.
The study of art and design helps
students acquire a variety of "soft skills" such as effective
communication and teamwork, the ability to solve problems creatively,
self-discipline, and contextual awareness. Your pursuit of a creative job may
benefit from possessing skills such as these.
