Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

A demanding but enjoyable programme of study, where you will have the opportunity of extending your skills and control in a wide range of materials, processes and techniques. Creative work and an independent, imaginative approach are underpinned by a strong emphasis on observational work in a variety of media. Students explore the work of other artists in depth and this analysis will develop individual artistic skills and ideas. Students are provided with space to work in their independent study time and are encouraged to use the art facilities after school. Staff are often available to support students’ independent research and refining at these times. Students are encouraged to support the Art Club and get involved with the school production in order to develop their creative skills.
