For those students that love making art but are not looking to use it as a pathway to university. We focus on production and explore a range of styles and mediums to make art. Students will have an opportunity to work to their strengths and preferred mediums in art making, as well as having opportunities to work in groups on collaboration works such as the Castaways Sculpture by the Sea competition.
