We teach the AQA A-Level Fine Art specification. This is a stimulating and popular course, which focuses on the further development of our student's artistic abilities, encouraging research made into artists and other creative practices to act as the starting points for sustained artistic explorations with a focus on personal lines of enquiry.
An Average Point Score of a 4 is needed. A GCSE in Art or Graphic Design are ideal background subjects, but other creative subjects such as Photography or Textiles are acceptable, providing you have the desire to produce high quality work.
The A-level consists of two graded components: Component 1: A Personal Investigation Students are required to conduct a practical investigation, into an idea, issue, concept or theme, supported by written material. The focus of the investigation must be identified independently by the student and must lead to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. 96 marks - 60% of A-Level Component 2: Externally-Set Assignment A question paper will be provided by the examining body. The paper will consist of a choice of eight questions to be used as starting points, students are required to investigate their starting point during a preparatory period. Following the preparatory period, students must produce outcomes in a 15 hours exam. 96 marks - 40% of A-Level
