This course requires students to develop practical and theoretical knowledge and understanding of: • Relevant materials, processes, technologies, and resources • How ideas, feelings, and meanings can be conveyed and interpreted in images and artifacts • How images and artifacts relate to the time and place in which they were made and to their social and cultural contexts • Continuity and change in different genres, styles, and traditions • A working vocabulary and specialist terminology. All universities recognize the course as an academic A level and allow for students considering a career in Art and for those wishing to develop their creative abilities.
