Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

The course is project based and will encompass a wide range of media, including Drawing and Painting, Printing, Sculpture, Ceramics and 3-D Design and computer based Graphic Fine Arts. We do not seek to impose a particular dogma of practice or house style but aim to enable the development of an individual approach in an atmosphere of ambitious expectation. Drawing, in its broadest sense, forms the foundation or departure point for most work. After this initial reinforcement of the basic language and technical skills, you will be expected to work with a high degree of self-direction and produce very personal responses. In addition, you will be encouraged to visit exhibitions, work in the local community and spend private study time developing your artwork.
