Art involves the making of objects that, through representing and expressing your ideas, helps you to make sense of your experience. The language of art complements the literary, mathematical, scientific and factually based subjects as it is especially concerned with the complex mental processes involved in visual perception and aesthetic awareness. For some experiences there are literally no words. When you use visual imagery you are not creating pictures of ideas which could be better expressed in words. You are formulating ideas using an essentially visual language. In the words of the artist Paul Klee, 'Having learned the language, the student should then use it to communicate his/her own vision.' You will be expected to research your visual ideas independently and this will reveal your strengths in investigation, persistence, imagination, creative thinking and expression. This research will complement your studio work where you will acquire skills to enable you to produce work of quality. Students have experimented with a variety of media including screen printing, block relief printing, photography, painting with acrylics and oils and exploring 3D using clay, plaster and mixed media, metal and card. You will be encouraged to talk about your work at every stage of the course.
