Fine Art (stage 1)

As well as finessing a range of creative skills, your young artists will also learn key skills necessary for pursuing further education in a creative field, such as the ability to discuss their own work and the work of others with confidence.

Self-motivated projects and development will be encouraged, and students will make at least one group visit to our on-site gallery, TheGallery, for inspiration.

At every opportunity your young artists will be given support and advice to enable them to engage fully and push their creative boundaries and free their imagination.
