The course is built around the practical hands on activity of making art to express ideas and feeling. Closely linked to this is the study of art in a historical and cultural context. By the end of the course you will have acquired a broad appreciation of art and design and its role in society, and advanced practical artistic skills. In the early stages the course is structured to encourage a fundamental understanding of the language of art and design: colour, line, shape, form, tone, pattern and texture. You will study drawing techniques and use a variety of colour media. You will also be doing photographic work and sculpture. The development of observational and practical skills is supported by regular visits to exhibitions and galleries. Contextual and historical studies are integrated with practical activities. For your contextual study you will be carrying out research in an area of art which interests you.
