  • 7. Getting into Art Education: The Art Foundation Diploma

     29:19
    Our seventh episode will introduce the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design; a one year qualification often completed between college and university. The Earth Bodies team will share their experiences of the course, and why they think it is such a crucial step in art education that can often be missed. It is also a great way to get into art education if you haven't had any prior experience, such as creative GCSE's, so we believe it is important to draw awareness to it. PS The next episode will be the the last of the series so be sure to tune in and let us know what you've thought of the series!
