Course summary

You can develop your artistic flair when studying one of our Art, Craft and Design programmes. We offer students the opportunity to specialise in one of three disciplines: Fine Art, Textiles or Photography. Students have access to some fantastic facilities, providing the opportunity and specialist support to try out a variety of artistic techniques. Make your mark. Manipulate materials. Express yourself and create. If you love images and colour, have recognised your creative flair and want to explore your skills within an art context, this course could be for you. You will be introduced to a variety of experiences exploring a range of fine art media, techniques and processes. You will have the opportunity to explore 2D and 3D, traditional and new technologies. This course prepares you to become an independent, confident practitioner. Your personal work will be presented in a portfolio and can be used for progression to higher level study or training in Art and Design related occupations. At Gateways, you are following in the footsteps of students who have recently gained places on highly sought-after courses at many of the top Art institutions in the country. Notably, students left to study on either foundation or degree level courses at The University of the Arts, Leeds College of Art, Chelsea College of Art, Edinburgh and the University of London. As part of your course there will be opportunities for gallery visits, entering prestigious competitions, staging exhibitions, and meeting visiting practitioners.
