About Us!

We are the Art Department at Thomas Rotherham College!

Our Courses

We offer three A level linear Art & Design courses. Fine Art, Graphic Communication and Photography. Students can study up to two of these three titles at any one time.  So, for example, you can choose Fine Art and Photography, or Graphic Communication and Fine Art. All three of these pathways allow students to work with both traditional and new media.

The approach within the Art Department at TRC is highly creative and experimental, whichever subject you choose. They all focus on developing intellectual, imaginative, creative and intuitive powers. Students investigate, explore, analyse, experiment and develop independent of mind and approach - learning how to refine their expressive skills. Students explore a broad range of media including painting, print and photography across all pathways.

Our courses are split into 2 sections:



Every year we have an A2 exhibition of all the work you have done over the past 2 years, to see last years in action click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-iUnd7wYyU&t=3s
