With one in twelve jobs in the UK in the creative industries, why wouldn't you want to be a part of it? Whether you see yourself as a designer, architect, film maker, photographer or the next big games designer, this could be the creative course for you. A Level Fine Art is a bridge to further education in the creative sector. The course is structured in a similar way to the GCSE course allowing students to consistently build their skills in a range of areas. Students will initially be expected to explore a range of processes before research into their chosen theme. In preparation for University or placements within the arts, students will be self-motivated, inquisitive and critical of their work and that of others. They will be guided by subject staff to work within their strengths and interests. They will gain experience of working with a range of materials such as; drawing, painting, printing, 3D work as well as digital processes and photography. Students will then focus to refine their skills and deepen their understanding of the creative processes desired by many industries. In turn students will build their transferable skills, creative thinking and ability to independently build a portfolio to be proud of but more importantly open doors.
