The creative industries are the most exciting, dynamic, diverse and fastest growing areas in the UK, great news if you are thinking of Art & Design as your future career.
Our talented students exhibit a range of their work at an End of Year Show. Family, friends and the community are invited to celebrate the incredible work of emerging talents venturing out into the world as artists, designers, photographers, animators, digital artists, fashion designers, graphic designers and media creatives.
Our students work in the College’s purpose-built Creative Industries area, which incorporates art and design studios, printmaking, pottery, multimedia suites and green room.
"I had a good feeling about the course and tutors who were friendly and approachable and made me feel comfortable." Frankie Kendall, Art & Design Extended Diploma Level 3
“Carshalton College was recommended to me by a friend who studied Creative Media here. I had previously studied Animal Mgt. but my real passion was Art. I applied and was invited in to come in and see the College and meet the tutors.
I had a good feeling about the course and tutors who were friendly and approachable and made me feel comfortable. I have really enjoyed these past two years. The techniques I have learnt such as printing and textiles have been enlightening.
The thing I have enjoyed the most is the being given the freedom to choose the topics and subject matter that particularly interests me which I feel has really developed my skills as an artist. The teaching and support I have been given has been really helpful and made college life much easier to adapt to.
We are currently doing work experience at a local primary school teaching Year 5s. Teaching is something I have always been interested in and I am hoping to pursue this as a career.
I have applied and been offered places in three London Universities, my first choice being the Courtauld Institute of Art. I plan to study a BA.(hons) Art History and Fine Art.”
