Fine art is art that is predominantly concerned with creating work for aesthetic purposes (rather than design purposes). The course allows artists to develop a wide range of skills as well as focus on one or more of the following areas – portraiture, landscape, still life, human form, abstraction, experimental imagery, narrative, installation, and working in a genre. The course teaches skills in several different mediums and allows artists to specialize in a particular area. Students are required to meet all four assessment objectives through a sustained and proactive approach to learning. The course also includes workshops with professional artists and visits to artistic places of interest.
