Art is a form of communication and expression – a visual language, which deals with the construction and interpretation of both personal and cultural meanings. Attainment in Art is achieved through the creative development of process, production, reflection, and evaluation – leading toward skills, knowledge, and understanding. The course has been devised to combine breadth and depth of study with the freedom of choice required to accommodate a range of abilities, material resources, and teacher specialisms. Students working to these specifications are encouraged to develop an awareness of cultural heritage, cultural differences and personal preferences, and of relevant environmental considerations. A-level students can follow either a broad unendorsed course or a more specialized endorsed program. Endorsements carry the same title as the individual Areas of Study, and are as follows: • Fine Art • Graphic Design • Textiles The course is designed to stimulate interest and enjoyment and contribute to your development as a thinking, responsible, and visually literate individual. Extensive opportunities are given to the student to develop his/her descriptive, interpretative, and analytical skills whilst an emphasis is placed on acquiring necessary subject-based skills and knowledge. This course is suitable for people who are well motivated and committed to the Arts generally. The subject is taught by two senior members of the department. On-going discussion about work projects and art-based issues is an important method of immersing the students in thinking about all aspects of their work, and the work of practicing artists and craftspeople.
Five GCSEs at Grade 5 and above including English and/or Mathematics. 6 or above in an art or design based subject, although in exceptional cases students who have attained a 5 grade will be admitted after an interview to ascertain their commitment and capabilities. In exceptional cases for students who have not taken GCSE art, yet have a very strong portfolio, we would consider their application at interview.
Candidates must demonstrate their ability to: AO1 Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. AO2 Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques, and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops. AO3 Record ideas, observations, and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress. AO4 Present a personal and meaningful response that realizes intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
