Level 2: The second year addresses issues of representation and subject, examining the language of Fine Art practice; ideas and content, and how to sustain and develop visual interests; a number of assignments and the opportunities to work as part of a group, profile considerations such as the relationship between art work, audience and site; it is at this stage that students will specialize in their studio work and chosen media area.
