该课程非常适合需要在与艺术相关的主要课程之前发展其作品集和/或其语言水平的学生，并且适用于雅思4.0级及以上的学生。它具有很高的灵活性，可以适应每个学生的特定需求，并且经过精心设计，可以与Kings的几个与艺术相关的课程相结合。作为艺术和设计准备计划的一部分，学生将陪同参观画廊和其他与艺术有关的场所。每学期至少有一个画廊或博物馆参观。
The programme is perfect for students who need to develop their portfolio prior to a main art-related course at Kings. It begins with a general introduction to the main art and design areas. Students will gradually become familiar with the disciplines involved in all aspects of Art and Design. Initially students will be introduced to a wide range of ways to explore art-making, both in two and three dimensions, and present this work through the use of sketchbooks. This will involve a series of projects which will focus on developing approaches to a variety of themes and topics in order to discover new areas of interest. Students will also be introduced to a range of contexts, or influences, which will enable them to broaden their knowledge of art and design practice. Students will develop their toolkit of skills and experience across 2D and 3D disciplines. Gradually, they will build their portfolio and we will work with them to ensure they showcase their skills and abilities in the best possible light.
