We live in a world defined by images. The art that we produce is inspired by our knowledge and understanding, experience, culture and our willingness to explore new ideas and concepts. Art involves critical thinking and practical creativity, making connections to established practice and interpreting experiences, feelings and ideas. Through combining elements of these things you will be able to become more confident in your ability to create, communicate and collaborate.
