The course offers you the opportunity to creatively explore a wide range of media, techniques and styles. We will encourage you to be creative and the course can be customised to suit the needs and ideas of every individual. You will have the opportunity to use modern digital techniques, as well as a range of drawing and painting methods. You can specialise in a chosen discipline as you begin your second year, selecting elements within Fine Art you wish to focus on, such as painting or drawing. During the course you will gain the experience of becoming a practising art professional by putting on your own private exhibitions with the possibility of obtaining commissions to sell your artwork.

The Creative Arts faculty have strong links with our local FE College, Northbrook, where students have gone on to study a Foundation degree in Art and Media. We also link with the University of Chichester’s art department who have a thriving multi-disciplinary Art course. Students successful in Art and Design can go on to study either at foundation level for one year, or go on to university to study in many art related fields such as Architecture, Illustration or Fine Art painting.
