Academic Departments - Art

Welcome to the Art department homepage :

The Art departmental homepage is currently in its infancy, there is much more to come from the Art department, at present we have a gallery of GCSE work for you to enjoy with examples of students' work up to the 2005/6 academic year.
In the very near future, we plan to inlcude separate pages for teaching and showcasing work from GCSE to A-Level.

We also plan to add guides for students wishing to further there knowledge in all aspects of Art as a subject area.

Please make use of our micro-site, it is there for you to use!
