Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

In the Visual Arts Department, we aim to provide and portray a lively, challenging and happy environment in which students can learn and explore, breaking new boundaries. Students will learn how to convey and interpret ideas, feelings and observations into three-dimensional work and record experiences, in visual form, through a variety of media. They will develop theoretical knowledge and understanding of relevant materials, processes, technologies and resources and experience using tools, equipment and machinery to design and make their 3 Dimensional pieces. The personal attributes and skills that you develop whilst studying 3D Design are vast. As students push themselves to explore unfamiliar techniques and materials, they will develop the tenacity required to problem solve at higher levels. They will become independent in their thinking and resilient in their attitudes. By analysing and researching the work of other practitioners, students develop lifelong skills that are transferable into any career path.
