Fine Art can be defined as work intended to communicate aesthetic, intellectual or conceptual ideas and meaning, rather than to serve a practical or commercial function. For example, it could be simply to observe and record people, places and things in new and unique ways.  The course focuses on four objectives:

Develop - develop ideas through investigations, showing critical understanding of sources.
Refine - refine work by exploring ideas and experimenting with different materials.
Record - record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.
Present - present and produce a meaningful response that realises intentions and shows you have an understanding of visual language.

There are many skills, techniques, materials, processes and concepts that are essential to all areas of study in Fine Art. Students will develop work in at least one of the following: drawing, installation, mixed media, printing, painting and sculpture.
