Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

The focus of this A Level course is to extend and develop your skills learned at GCSE. The course encourages you to develop your creativity by responding to a range of stimuli. Independent work is essential, however, in the first year, you will be taught a range of skills and techniques in workshop-style sessions. You will be studying the Fine Art endorsement which requires you to use a range of both 2-D and 3-D media and techniques. Drawing, painting, printing, and sculpture will be a focus, but you will also have the opportunity to explore photographic mediums (both digital and dark room-based) and installation design and methods. As the course progresses you will begin to develop specialist skills, thus finding processes that suit your intentions.
