English Plus Art and Design is ideal for students who need to improve their English, for study or employment, while practising their art and design skills or preparing a portfolio of artwork.
It combines General English with specialist art and design-related disciplines.
At both Kings Oxford and Kings London, there is a fully-equipped art studio available for English Plus Art and Design students to use. The Oxford studio is based at the Alfred Street Annexe, in central Oxford.
Both studios are light and spacious, and specially equipped for teaching painting, drawing and modelling. It is here where lessons with specialist art teachers will take place, and where students come to work on projects in their own time.
The studios also provide a great space to meet other students after class to share and develop artistic ideas, and to learn new skills. Software available includes Adobe Photoshop, and InDesign and Illustrator in Oxford.
English Plus Art and Design is a flexible course which allows a broad range of students to gain a different, personally tailored experience in art and design. Students can attend with highly varying previous study in art and design, from degree level, or pre-masters students to complete beginners. Students attend for varying amounts of time.
Many students want to work on their drawing skills, either for themselves or for courses for which they are planning to apply. Students who are taking art further are keen to get portfolio advice and expertise to prepare effectively for art courses or job applications.
English classes are usually in the morning. The six hours of art and design classes are timetabled for afternoons.
Please note, during summer high season, students may have English classes in the afternoons instead.
The art and design content of the course is determined by the student, and is structured around their experience and interests. Each student fills in a questionnaire on arrival and has a tutorial with their art teacher in their first lesson where they discuss their art background and previous experience as well as their learning goals.
Art skills covered include:
Kings Oxford also offers:
1. Language
2. Art and Design Techniques
The course provides students with opportunities to practise different processes. All students will achieve an understanding of how art and design is taught in the UK through project work which will develop their creative thinking.
3. Portfolio development
Students will be advised on further art and design study in the UK. Portfolio development can consist of advice on selecting and presenting work, creating new work for a portfolio and giving a student the means to continue developing their portfolio after their course. Students wanting to work on portfolios should bring, if possible, images of any previous work and work in progress that they may wish to include in their portfolio.
