Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Art focuses on two-dimensional work (drawing, painting and print-making). The course will allow you to develop an in-depth knowledge of materials and mark-making. This will enable you to express creative ideas both visually and through reflective writing with a growing level of skill and sophistication. All work is initially developed from experimental observational drawing and is informed by a critical understanding of Art Practice, (studying the work of other artists and designers). This course can lead directly to an Art Foundation Course and university degree courses in Art and Design. Art and Design is often required for related university studies, such as Architecture, and can be a springboard to successful careers in the creative industries.
