English and Welsh Art Schools
Art, whether fine
art (eg. painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics) or applied
art (eg. graphic or industrial design), or public art (eg. environmental,
conceptual or public statues) is becoming more and more relevant to industry,
the workplace, and our general environment. As a result, art education
is assuming a greater relevancy to us all. England and Wales offer a wide
choice of programs designed to furnish students with the foundation or
specialist skills needed to pursue a career in art
and design, whether as an individual artist, as a member of a design team,
or in the flourishing public art sector. Here is selection of some of
the best third level art schools in England and Wales. (See also: BEST
