The aim of the course is to engage with and explore the visual arts through the production of personal practical work. Outcomes are therefore not prescribed and you will have a great deal of autonomy in developing work that you find interesting and inspiring. The Art staff work closely with the A-level candidates in helping them develop their work successfully and in fulfilling the highest examination criteria. Students in Fine Art will be introduced to a variety of creative experiences that explore a range of fine art media processes and techniques. You will explore the use of drawing using a range of methods and media on a variety of scales including pencil, graphite, biro, ink and charcoal. You will go on to produce practical and critical/contextual work in one or more areas of study, for example: drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, photography, installation and print making. To extend the art experience, you will go on a gallery visit to see work first-hand.
• You need at least five GCSE passes at grade 4 – 9 to study at this level. • Ideally students will have achieved at least grade 6 in GCSE Art. Students will be considered for this subject if they have not studied it before, but must be able to demonstrate their skill level through a portfolio of work.
Most focus on examinations at the end of the qualification as the main assessment method but some also require the completion of non-examination assessments (NEAs).
