Moreover, they will be exposed to a wide diverse range of past and present male and female artist and designers to have a broad and balanced curriculum and a secure knowledge of important aspects of culture. Students will have the opportunities to visit art galleries to promote a love of art and to influence young artist. Students study a wide range of art genres from contemporary to modern, this exposure to a range of artists enables them to broaden their artistic cultural capital.
