Course summary

Art is a journey, not a destination. Art is a place where you can be creative and develop your original way of working. Pushing boundaries through experimentation and refining ideas by looking at the work of other artists, allows you to develop as an artist. An appreciation and understanding of art will enrich your life. The course provides opportunities to work in graphic design, photography, painting and drawing, and 3D media including ceramics, sculpture and textiles. “Art has made me look at aspects of the world from a different perspective and has given me an appreciation for other artist’s talents.” Emma “Art is different to other subjects because it allows you to express yourself without confinement.” Florence “It is a beautiful chaos.” Vidya
