Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Our department offers an exciting, broad, and diverse A-level experience. Our students can work on canvas, create large scale prints, etchings and paintings, explore mixed medias, photography and film and use fabric and sewing in their work, coupled with the opportunity to make large scale sculpture and installations, there are really very few avenues we won’t explore! These diverse opportunities and our incredibly well established and knowledgeable staff mean that our students do well, succeed and often go on to study in a creative environment. Our staff have expertise in fine art, ceramics, sculpture, installation art, textiles, jewellery design and photography. We aim to give students the opportunity to undertake workshops and experiment with wider ranges of materials, techniques and processes at the beginning of the course–which the students have commented makes them more confident in their own creative processes and more willing to take risks with their own aesthetic.
