What the college says

You will learn to think creatively, use a range of 2D and 3D materials and processes and gain a good understanding of painting, drawing, printmaking, textiles, photography, new media and sculpture. You'll support your practical work with research into an exciting array of visual artists and you'll develop your visual literacy through analyzing the work of others. One of the great things about the subject is the freedom it affords you to work on projects that can be tailored around your interests. If you want to learn to paint like the old Masters then you will have that opportunity. If you want to create large scale sculptures or installations that tell a story about your life you can do that too. The options are broad and you will work alongside your tutors to make decisions about the best way for you to work.
