Fine Art is a practical course which allows us to explore how we can communicate ideas. You will learn high level skills through painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, performance and conceptual processes. Visual language enables us to explore personal and cultural identity, sociological ideas, psychology and reflect on our place in the world. It is used in the creative process across art and design, as well as teaching skills in lateral thinking, communication and analysis.
Grade 6 in Art, or interview with Ms Cox if this is not achieved. Minimum grade 4 in English (grade 5 advised).
Coursework (60%): September 2024 – February 2026: Incorporates three major elements: supporting studies, practical work and a personal study. Exam (40%): February 2026 – May 2026: Incorporates two major elements: preparatory studies and the 15-hour period of sustained focus. This allows students opportunities to generate and develop ideas, research sources, record observations, experiment with media and processes, and refine ideas towards producing personal resolved outcome(s) in response to an externally set theme.
