Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

What will you do on this course? During this course, students will develop ideas that demonstrate analytical and critical understanding of their work and that of other artists. Through experimenting with a range of media, materials, techniques and processes students extend their skills and subject knowledge. Students will demonstrate an ability to reflect on their work and progress and will produce a portfolio which realises the intentions of the individual. We have wonderful Art facilities, with spacious and light studios, 3D studios for ceramics, sculpture and mixed media work, specialist facilities for digital media, photography, film making and website design, including a traditional darkroom. Students can experiment in a range of disciplines, or choose to work wholly in one area, such as printmaking or sculpture. The department has three kilns, a glass kiln, several printing presses and a plaster studio.
