Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Coursework will be divided into two different projects set internally. In year 13 there is one external project or exam set by the exam board. Students will complete work in a sketchbook (ideal for home tasks) and worksheets/study sheets throughout. Within each project, the following will be achieved: • A wide range of observational drawings completed in a range of media. • An in-depth study into the works of three or four artists. • A series of experiments and designs allowing the students to demonstrate their creativity and skill in the use of materials. • A series of A1 study sheets or worksheets complimenting their research. • An outcome demonstrating the best of the skills and drawings they have developed in the style of their chosen artist(s). The external project is set by the exam board and year 13 students have 15 hours in which to conclude their project and produce a final piece.
