Records show that a course called Foundation Art Diploma started in Swansea in 1967, 47 years ago. However, there have been classes following the Foundation pattern since 1909, so that it can be confirmed that the course has, in one form or another, been in existence for 105 years. From 1909 – 1967 the course was called General Art & Design, described at the time as a general preliminary art course.
Foundation students have gone on to a broad range of careers within the art and design industries and elsewhere. This exhibition will celebrate the work of a selection of alumni from more recent years. Participants will be given the project brief ’50cm RULE’, allowing them to recapture the experience and creative freedom of studying as a Foundation student.
The current Foundation Art & Design team would like to celebrate over 100 years of the course and the successful students who have studied with us during this time. We are proud to say that we are the most established Foundation course in Wales based within the oldest art school in Wales.
