Why study Fine Art?
This practical subject helps to develop the visual, analytical and cognitive skills of a young developing artist. Students will explore a personal open-ended brief through the three main disciplines of painting/drawing, sculpture and printmaking. More advanced methods of recording through digital photography and visual IT packages are also explored. We have always enjoyed exceptionally strong results in Art.
