Outcomes are informed by a knowledge and understanding of contemporary and historical artworks, gained through lectures, tutorials and visits to nearby international art galleries; in the autumn term students have the opportunity to participate in a study tour, previous visits have included trips to the Venice Biennale, Basel and Copenhagen. The fine art course covers broad areas of study including drawing, painting, mixed and digital media, installation and sculpture. Studios are well equipped for all mediums and supported by an extensive library. Through the course students develop a mature understanding of the creative process and build their confidence in working from observation through weekly life drawing sessions. Each year, many students decide to take an art foundation course prior to a specialist degree course in the field of art and design. Others apply to study art-related degrees such as Architecture and Art History. We celebrate the practical achievements of our students through an annual A Level art exhibition in the summer term.
