Learning/Growth Perspective
The foundation course is a one or two year
preparatory course for school-leavers who want to
qualify for a place on a bachelor's degree course
in art, design or architecture. The course is
almost entirely practical in nature, although
increasingly elements of art and design history
have been introduced, and it is considered
sufficient to qualify those who pass it to move
on to a degree course without further study.

Origin and methodology
Harry Thubron at Leeds College of Art. Together
they began to establish a team to deliver a new
form of art preparation course they called the
Basic Design Course. The aim of the course was to
teach what were considered to be the basic skills
that underpin all art and design activities,
including architecture. This resulted in projects
designed to develop skills in using color,
articulating two- and three-dimensional space,
defining form and experimenting with diverse
materials. Many of these theories were tested by
Thubron at a series of art summer schools in the
seaside town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire,
which attracted art students, artists and art
teachers from throughout Britain. The result of
this was that the theories of the basic design
course were very widely disseminated, which
helped the program to become so widespread. A
notable feature of this method of the foundation
course method is that it does not teach basic
versions of later art or design practices, so
that someone wanting to be a painter would not be
taught basic painting, or a student wanting to be
a graphic designer would not be taught basic
graphic design. Specific skills were left to be
taught in the specific degree course itself,
whereas the foundation course only focused on the
core skills that are perceived to be common to
all art and design practices.
