Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

This is an exciting, vibrant, explorative course which will enable you to create a personal investigation (coursework project). It culminates in a 15-hour examination based upon an externally set assignment – the examination time is used to create a final piece for the exam project. You will produce practical, experimental and critical/contextual work, which is realised in any media: painting, mixed media, sculpture, photography, textiles, drawing, ceramics, printmaking or installation. The work created should demonstrate use of the formal elements and creative skills, and will give form to your own thoughts, feelings and ideas. You will be encouraged to experiment and be inquisitive, as well as to explore the world in a variety of ways. There is flexibility for you to major in one area of study, for example photography or textiles should this be your preference.
