Why do we learn Art?
Art is a rich and dynamic subject area. It is steeped in history and yet very much alive, buzzing with energy and vitality. Through Art we can connect with all sorts of fascinating times, places and cultures, but we can also shape our environment and make our voices heard in the present. Artists are proud to see the world differently and their playful approach makes them an exciting and highly valued member of any professional team. Art is a practical subject with a focus on making beautiful work, but will also make you look deeply and think differently about the world.
