Hello and welcome to the Art department!
We want to give you a warm welcome from the whole department: Derval, Joe, Jonny, Kay, Paul and Roger. It’s unfortunate you are not with us in college today, but we are hoping that our video clips give you a little sense of the department and what we are about and get you excited for September. The Instagram page we have set up will give you an opportunity to both showcase your own work as well to be able to view your fellow students' work.
These are our taster day activities:
Activity 1: Please start by viewing our departmental video giving you an introduction to the department.
Activity 2: Back To Your Future Selves
The art department will explain how your career pathway and interests inform how your course will look and feel.
Please ‘drop in’ to one of our two webinars, here teachers will be on hand to answer any questions you have about next year. Once you have joined the webinar there is an option to chat and ask questions via text at the top.
