The Arts Foundation Year at Lincoln is year one of an integrated four-year degree programme which provides an alternative entry route on to a wide range of degree courses within the College of Arts, including Animation and Visual Effects, Architecture, Graphic Design, Creative Advertising, Illustration, Interior Architecture and Design, Design for Event, Exhibition and Performance, Fashion, Fine Art, Photography, and Product Design. Known collectively as the Arts Foundation Year, the programme adopts a dynamic interdisciplinary approach to learning, where all students follow the same curriculum and studying alongside one another, regardless of their degree specialism. It has been designed to enable students who perhaps need more time to adjust to degree-level study, are not sure which subject they want to pursue, achieved lower than expected grades, or are returning to education. Students can engage in the study of practical and theoretical subjects that are relevant to their creative disciplines. Our students can build their confidence throughout the programme by engaging with experimental ways of working, design processes, practical workshops, and critical thinking.<br><br>Design for Event, Exhibition and Performance specialises in ‘storytelling spaces', whether for a brand, a collection, or an idea. Students on the course can undertake projects that integrate aspects of spatial, interactive, and graphic design to create engaging, narrative environments. Students may design brand experiences, exhibition projects for museums, visitor attractions and theme parks, commercial trade stands, and temporary environments for theatrical live events and festivals. They have the opportunity to learn how to construct concept driven 3D proposals that blend atmosphere and experience to create an ‘interpretive bridge' between client and audience/visitor or performer and observer. The course aims to help students create interactive, engaging spaces that communicate meaning and message in a memorable and innovative way. This distinctive course is multi-disciplinary and collaborative in nature and will appeal to students with a wide range of interests in all aspects of the Arts.
