Our Art and Design Level 2 Diploma is designed for adults who want to develop their artistic skills, explore a range of creative disciplines and build a strong portfolio of work. Whether you are new to art, returning to a creative interest or looking to progress your artistic practice, this course provides the knowledge, practical skills and confidence needed to take the next step.

Throughout the course, you will develop core skills in drawing, painting and visual communication while exploring a variety of 2D and 3D processes, including screen printing, ceramics, casting, sculpture, textiles and art history. You will gain an understanding of artistic techniques, materials and the work of established artists, helping you build both your technical ability and creative confidence.

You will benefit from hands-on workshops, collaborative projects and guidance from experienced tutors, with opportunities to experiment across specialist art and design facilities. As your skills develop, you will build a portfolio that showcases your creativity and technical progress, culminating in a group end-of-year exhibition.

This course will help you develop the practical skills, creative knowledge and confidence needed to progress to further study, enhance your personal artistic practice or pursue opportunities within the creative industries.
