Our aim is to encourage students to develop their artistic skill, creativity, imagination and independence. The course is devised to accommodate a wide range of approaches in the use of materials, processes and techniques, whilst also broadening the student's cultural awareness and knowledge of the work of artists, photographers and designers.

The course is structured so as to enable students to achieve success and reach their potential. The course is broad based which allows the students to experiment across a wide range of mediums.

Form 1. An introduction to art in its various forms - artists, drawing, painting, graphics, and ceramics.

Form 2. Building on skills already learnt and developing creativity and independent thought.

Form 3. Practical work in Graphics, painting drawing, art history and an introduction to an extended piece of work based on Impressionism.
