The Fine Art course provides an opportunity to use a wide range of fine art materials including ceramic, photography and sculpture. Students will be made aware of new technologies as well as traditional processes in art and design. It is expected that students will develop and improve skills and techniques when engaging in their own portfolio and exam work. Students must show knowledge and understanding of how ideas, feelings and meanings can be conveyed and interpreted in images and artefacts within their studies.
