Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Fine Art is an exciting and forward looking subject. The leading people in any professional field are those who can think creatively and innovatively; and making and participating in the arts aids the development of these skills. Current evidence suggests that skills in communication, critical thinking, visual identity, and reasoning will likely become even more important in the careers of the future. The course is predominately practical, with art theory elements. The qualification teaches you how the creative process works and provides you with the opportunity to research and develop ideas which interest you personally. Fine Art theory complements a broad range of other academic disciplines including the sciences, literature, Mathematics, History and Classics, Politics, Music and Psychology LHS has a dedicated Sixth Form studio and you will have your own individual work space to come and go from as you wish.
