During the course, students will develop knowledge and understanding relevant to their chosen areas of Fine Art, including historical and contemporary developments and societal influences on art. Skills and techniques will be developed through the analysis of, and responses to, other artists’ work and processes, showing an understanding of a range of approaches and creative use of a variety of mediums. The course is structured to provide students with the opportunity to experiment, develop and refine their skills in a range of areas. Each discrete task will have a range of foci so students can customise their learning. The course will also encourage high level learning management skills; students are encouraged to utilise independent and personal project management skills as the course develops, preparing them for a life beyond school and teacher instruction. During the course, students are required to work in one or more area(s) of Fine Art, such as: • drawing and painting • mixed-media, including collage and assemblage • sculpture • ceramics • installation • printmaking (relief, intaglio) • photography.
