Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Studying Fine Art is essentially about learning to pursue a personal creative journey and communicating that journey to others. During the first year of the course, students are introduced to a broad range of processes and materials, enabling them to develop their visual language. They also gain insight into issues and concerns of historical and contemporary art forms and they learn to place their artwork within a wider context. Art students learn critical, evaluation and presentation skills and are required to work with independence. As the course progresses, they produce an extensive body of work on a theme of personal interest.
