Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Fine Art may be defined as work which is produced as an outcome of the students’ personal experience, rather than that which is created exclusively for a practical function or that which is the outcome of a tightly prescribed brief. Work produced for this specification will demonstrate the use of formal elements and creative skills, give visual form to individual thoughts, feelings, observations and ideas. Students will show evidence of trying to extend their own and others’ ways of seeing the world. They will use the visual language of the subject sensitively and thoughtfully to support their intentions. Disciplines will include painting and drawing, printmaking and alternative media.
