This site represents a selection of work from past students. Since 2001 the course has been called Access to Art & Design. Changes in funding mean that from September 2012 it becomes a Foundation Diploma in Art & Design. The staff will be the same and the exceptionally high standard of teaching and learning that has resulted in a 100% success rate in getting students into university will continue. tonyj@wmcollege.ac.uk

Knot. Finnula Campbell. 2005
Acrylic, chalk, charcoal and montage on paper. 96in. x 72in.
During a visit to the British Museum Finnula became interested in the intricate knots that joined samurai swords to the wearers' belts. These were recorded in detail in a sketchbook and developed in the studio. She chose to represent them on a huge scale using black paint and an extra large brush, creating swirling almost calligraphic shapes. Other pieces built out from the picture surface using card and paper resulting in a frieze/sculpture-like effect.
