The Foundation in Design is a one-year programme, which provides the essential preparation for entry into our Degree programmes in art, design and multimedia. The programme emphasises building your creative thinking, research and drawing skills. You will learn how to visualise ideas using different media whether it's drawing, photography or 3D products. You will develop practical skills in two and three dimensions, exploring issues of space, structure, surface, texture and colour. Progressively you will experience and experiment across all areas of art and design and later concentrate on your chosen field.
Even as a multimeda student you need to develop your visual skills in observation, analysis, sketching and visualisation. Multimedia is not concerned with learning software. The software simply provides you with a tool to visualise and communicate your idea/concept.
