Visual Arts

Course summary

The Art Room is a space where students have the freedom to develop and express ideas creatively through a range of materials and approaches. With the opportunity to specialise in Textile Design, Fine Art or 3 Dimensional Design there are a breadth of approaches to art making which are possible supporting different creative voices. The Art and Design course encourages both critical and creative thinking. It supports students to interpret the world around them and consider their connection to it. By looking closely at the work of others it encourages reflection and deepens an understanding in their own artistic practice. Developing a personal body of practical work through experimentation and research is central to the course. An open, reflective approach to making art is important as well as a willingness to explore new methods.
