Visual Arts - Cambridge Programme

AICE Art and Design encompasses a broad range of activities to allow students to pursue personal interests and challenges in the field of visual communication. The course is designed to develop a student's ability to record from direct observation and personal experience, to communicate their observations and experiences through disciplined approaches, and to use experimentation and imagination in creative ways. The student will demonstrate an ability to identify, research, evaluate and solve problems of design and visual communication. The student will learn to use relevant vocabulary to make critical judgments of the subject matter and to demonstrate an appreciation for various cultural influences in the field of Art & Design. Successful completion of this course will result in an AS or A-Level certificate and can contribute toward an AICE Diploma.
