Art and Design

At Plymouth College, Art and Design is taught in an environment which provides a broad and humanising educational experience that nurtures intellectual and emotional development. By empowering students with an understanding of visual language art gives entry through its particular heritage to the common fund of experience. Through the teaching of direct personal expression we foster and encourage imagination, sensitivity, conceptual thinking, observational skills, analytical abilities and critical understanding.

Students who go on to study Art subjects at exam level can expect to enjoy a highly stimulating course which has an excellent success rate. We offer GCSE, AS and A-level courses in Fine Art, Photography and Graphic Design.

In 2006 the Good Schools Guide presented us with the award for "Best Girls A-level Photography Results in UK".
