LEARN FROM ART AND DESIGN PROFESSIONALS
This programme will give you the chance to study in central Cambridge in a fun and creative environment led by experienced tutors at CSVPA.
BROADEN YOUR SKILLS IN THE INDUSTRY
Exploring idea generation through material investigation and fabricating processes, you will gain an understanding of the basic skills required for a wide range of 3D design disciplines. Through experimentation and quick-fire responses to the brief, you will start to understand the idea behind key 3D Design principles, including scale, abstraction, material, structure, form movement and colour and their place within wider design pathways.
DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS IN:
Material understanding | Model fabrication | Presentation | Idea generation and development | Conceptual thinking
PROGRESSION AT CSVPA
Completion of the course can enable progression on to our University of the Arts London Awarding Body Extended Diploma or Foundation Diploma if you meet the UAL entry criteria for the course.
PROGRAMME OUTCOMES:
1, You will, through problem solving, create 10 outcomes answering the brief based around redesigning a single object
2. You will utilise state of the art laser cutting technology to prototype conceptual ideas
3. Project will culminate in a group presentation of outcomes that peers will be able to discuss new ideas and skills developed over the week’s activities
