Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

This is a practical, making and creating course which uses a vast range of specialist materials and art techniques. It is 60% practical portfolio and 40% practical exam. The course embraces the current and emerging technologies as well as the traditional routes of art, craft and design, such as drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. It provides exciting opportunities for students to make personal journeys of discovery, learning why art and design matter and gaining experience of the working practices of individuals and organisations in the creative and cultural industries. By providing students with the freedom to experiment and take risks, we encourage them to develop their own style of expression. Students have a dedicated Sixth Form Art Studio where each of our emerging artists has their very own space in which to work during the course.
