What the college says

The world of visual communication is an important part of contemporary society. It encompasses a wide variety of different disciplines which is ever expanding with the development of new technology. It ranges from the traditional aspects of art i.e. Fine Art (in which we encourage students to incorporate their own photography and ICT manipulation of their own photograph), Painting, Sculpture and Architecture into commerce and industry in the form of Graphic, Interior, Product, Textile, Fashion, Engineering and Computer design. More recently Film, Television and Media are at the cutting edge of avant garde Art today. Doing AS/A-Level Art is an important step in understanding and being critical of our visual culture which is currently one of the most dominant forms of communication on a global scale
