Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

During the first year of the course, students will investigate and experiment with a wide range of materials in order to develop their understanding and improve their technical ability with a variety of media and processes. At A-Level students will get the chance to try techniques they may not have had the chance to try at GCSE level such as screen printing, dry-point etching, and oil painting. Students will have the opportunity to explore a range of starting points and be encouraged to take risks and be adventurous in their work. Students will be expected to use their independent study time effectively in order to make rapid progress and are welcome to use the Art Department facilities during this time.
