What the college says

What to expect in the Cornwallis Art Department : Painting and Sculpture https://youtu.be/n77mO_0b2t4 Photography https://youtu.be/T1PMnXxJBZQ A Level at Cornwallis provides students with the opportunity to explore ideas and materials in greater detail than they could at Level 2. As well as 3 bright and modern Art rooms, there is a Photographic Darkroom dedicated to traditional wet processing and analogue photography. Through a series of thematic responses you will challenge your conceptions about the subject and explore ideas. The course will prepare you for Higher Education, calling upon you to manage your workload, taking a far more independent approach; while you negotiate time and space, working in the department outside of timetabled lessons during your own study periods. Our team of experienced and committed teaching staff are always available to support and advise you.
