Art and Design (Fine Art)
Course summary
The Art and Design course will lead to a better understanding of the visual world and provide opportunities for students to develop their own visual language. The introduction to the programme begins with observation of nature: recording, analysis and creation of a visual response to the surroundings. Art makes students look at things anew - even mundane ordinary aspects of the world. There is something magical about smearing pencil and paint across a piece of paper and sculpting form with your hands. Communicating with colour, shape and form awakens the imagination. Art students often arrive at exam season with a significant portion (if not all) of their Art marks accumulated and accounted for. For many students - especially those with a heavy exam load in other subjects or those who struggle with exam anxiety - this advantage is significant.
