The definition of Art is continually in flux. Art is a subject that is responsive to the world around us and evolves to best fit the needs of society. The Oxford dictionary defines Art as “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination” you could argue that this definition is now outdated. The advancements in technology have given the artist an arsenal of new creative means in which to create, disseminate and define what Art means today. The British artist Banksy defines the subject as “Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the uncomfortable”, this definition of Art feels more appropriate today. Art should challenge conventional views and lead the recipients of the artwork to question and consider personal views that may need reflection. Whichever definition you affiliate with, it’s important to take note of the American artist James Turnells definition “Art is a completed pass, you don’t just throw it out into the world - someone has to catch it”. This course is an exciting step towards working in any creative industry. You will build your imaginative and creative skills and develop your practice within a broad spectrum of themes and media. This course allows you to work as an artist through developing your projects from personal starting points.
