This course encourages exploration of what art means to you and to the world around you. Fine Art will develop your creative and practical skills across a wide range of themes and ideas. You will create a portfolio of work, using a number of techniques and media to experiment with and explore your subject. Assignments address different elements of art, including themes, ideas and processes. Practical, studio-based work is supported by lectures, workshops and visits to galleries and exhibitions to aid your overall knowledge of historical and contemporary movements. Throughout the two years, you will develop your skills through a range of workshops including drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media and 3D. You will be required to research, analyse and evaluate the work of artists and develop your own responses. During the First Year, subjects such as landscape, the built environment, the human figure and still life are offered as starting points for practical assignments together with more abstract or conceptual themes.
