Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Year 1: While no qualification is gained there is still a standard and quality of work expected that will enable you to move through into the second year. In terms 1 and 2, you will be introduced to all of the new skills needed for the course. You will need to be able to work with a high level of independence and will be encouraged to explore new skills with a creative understanding. From term 2 students will begin their solo project – this year it is based around portraiture, but this is subject to change. Students should use sketchbooks to underpin and document their work where appropriate. Trips are used to further elevate the level of students' work (to support the current portraiture project students will undertake an advanced painting workshop and complete a life drawing course at Chesterfield College)
