This course encourages creativity, sustained investigation and analysis, experimentation, and design and making as a means of developing technical and expressive skills. It allows learners to follow a program of study that extends the experience and personal response as well as developing imagination and critical and reflective thinking. The ability to innovate, adapt, and work independently, which underlies all aspects of the course, is valued by higher education and employers alike. Fine Art is traditionally known for painting and drawing. This is a course that allows you to discover ways of working in these areas but also includes printmaking, 3D and 2D methods, digital media, mixed media, and installation art. From suggested starting points and workshop delivery you will be encouraged to develop as a high-level thinker and creative interpreter. Underpinning your work will be the development of vital drawing skills and the appreciation of a broad range of other artists' work.
