Why study Art?
Art allows you to develop an extensive range of creative and technical skills, and to understand more about artists and art history. You may develop a specific interest in drawing, painting, photography, animation or sculpture.
Art helps you come up with new ideas, work independently on your own projects, and build up examples of your work. In many jobs, being able to think and plan creatively is a real advantage.
There are lots of careers that need creative and artistic skills – including architecture, fashion design, advertising, media make-up and floristry. Art and maths together are a great combination for design careers such as architecture, car design or engineering.
