Why Study Fine Art?
Studying Fine Art will enable you to develop your skills and confidence. It’s about Making - Looking at - Thinking about - Feeling about - Knowing about and responding to the world around us.
Over the two year course, you will add to your artistic portfolio with many transferable skills such as planning, keeping to deadlines, selfconfidence, presentation and collaboration. These skills are essential for transitioning to university and working life.
The course is made up of coursework (60%) and an externally set task (40%) at the end of the second year. You will learn how to explore and develop your ideas and skills in relation to drawing, painting, collage and mixed media, along with the history and practice of Fine Art.
