Overview

Program Description Whether in the studio, the classroom or around town, Cambridge is full of inspiration. Whether students are honing their talent or finding their passion, the prestigious Cambridge School of Art at ARU is the perfect place to explore and design. The Pathway of Art and Design targets the skills students will need in University to critically assess information, develop a design portfolio, and express themselves through visual language. Students will be introduced to practical art and design skills including developing skills of visual storytelling, image-making both in traditional and digital media, visual language and communication, formulating an independent creative response to a broad range of subject matter. For a hands-on degree, many classes are going to utilise project and portfolio based strategies to help students begin developing a portfolio and find areas of passion. The BA (Hons) Illustration and Animation course explores the connections between illustration and animation, helping students to create sequential narratives using a variety of methods – from observational drawing and traditional handmade image-making, to the latest specialist digital animation software and cutting-edge interactive techniques. They will become an experienced creator of innovative, engaging visual content with training in both traditional processes and the latest digital technologies. Perhaps most importantly, students will get time, guidance and support from a team of illustrators, animators and visiting professionals who are dedicated to creative development. At Cambridge School of Art, students will experiment and discover, make mistakes and find solutions, develop and create. The Design & Crafts courses ranked 8th in the UK for 'Satisfied with Course' and 3rd for 'Satisfied with Teaching' in The Guardian University Guide 2020, reflecting how students’ value their educational experience.
