Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

On the A-Level Art course students experience a number of media, developing their technical abilities as well as a critical awareness of various artists to help develop their ideas. Students work on their own chosen theme and interest area, in their own personal studio space in the 6th Form Art studio. The course is based around hard work, enthusiasm and the drive of personal investigation and independent study. Students work in a productive but relaxed atmosphere, working alongside the teacher who supports and advises the student on lines of enquiry for their particular theme and assists with technical demonstrations of media as required. Final results range from sculptures and decorative textiles to large canvases. An exhibition of all work takes place at the end of the two years.
