Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Do you enjoy drawing? Would you like to improve your skills and knowledge? Would you like the opportunity to see and understand the world differently? This course allows you to develop creatively, either as a personally enriching interest or as part of your progression towards a career within the creative industries. What will I learn? You will develop key skills and knowledge fundamental to art and design. During a series of workshops, you will explore a range of two-dimensional materials and approaches, such as tone, mark-making, ink, mixed media, color, and painting. You will explore how a range of modern and historic artists have communicated ideas through their imagery and techniques. Year two builds on your learning. Experimental drawing practical workshops are held throughout, encouraging you to take risks and work in new and different ways. Where will it take me? A qualification in Fine Art is highly valued by many universities and employers. As a ‘Classical’ ‘creative’ subject, it applies to almost any progression in art and design. It is an excellent subject to complement courses such as Architecture, History of Art, Film, Prosthetics and Theatrical makeup, Art Therapy, and Education.
