Are you creative and imaginative? Do you enjoy exploring ideas and looking at things in different ways? If so, you should consider a course in Fine Art. You will enjoy developing your understanding of the visual world, learning practical skills and responding to ideas and issues in ways that are personal to you. Fine Art offers opportunities to use your creativity to express yourself. You will develop your understanding of creative processes, your ability to observe and to think, to solve problems and to communicate in a visual way. It will enable you to work independently and to make your own discoveries by exploring ideas, other artists’ work and different materials and techniques. Your responses must be shown through practical and critical activities demonstrating your understanding of different genres. You should be aware of the four assessment objectives: research, materials and techniques, developing ideas and realising intentions; demonstrating an understanding of the importance of process as well as product.
