This course will provide you with an opportunity to develop your intellectual, imaginative, and creative capabilities. You will investigate, analyse and experiment to develop your technical and expressive skills. You will gain an aesthetic understanding of art and will be encouraged to express an independence of mind and to communicate your ideas. You will have the opportunity to work with a broad range of media. Through exposure to the work of artists, photographers, designers, and other creative industries, you will gain a greater understanding and experience of the visual arts. A coursework portfolio will allow you to develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by the work of artists and photographers, as well as other sources. You will explore the use of a variety of media, materials, techniques and processes and, as a result, develop an ability to review and refine your work. Through the development of skills, you will be able to record ideas, observations and insights with confidence. Your critical judgement will develop and you will gain the ability to present a personal and meaningful response to a theme, which realises your intentions. This course will see you develop your ability to: • Handle materials, techniques and processes effectively and skilfully. • Build an analytical understanding of art and photography from recent and past times, and use this knowledge in practical outcomes.
