OFCAD



Awarded by West Dean College of Arts and Conservation

Duration: One year, part-time.


OFCAD is a flexible foundation programme in art and design taught online through a mix of self-directed study, live study days and a student community hub.

Designed to fit around day-to-day commitments, the programme supports students to establish momentum and resilience in their creative learning. This online show acknowledges and celebrates the competence and confidence gained by students in the core skills in art and design.

Throughout the course students have been supported to:

  • Develop practical and creative skills in a broad range of mediums and subjects, including drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.
  • Find direction in their creative practice and future goals.
  • Complete a portfolio of work suitable to make applications to higher level study, or to show to galleries and other artist opportunities.
