Throughout Fine Art, students will encounter a broad range of techniques, materials and processes. They will develop skills, explore ideas and make observations to support the creation of high-quality Fine Art outcomes. They will be introduced to a variety of areas within Fine Art including painting, printing, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics and installation. They will develop their visual skills and explore different ways of using materials and tools to develop their own ideas. Students will explore a variety of mark making techniques, experiment with collage and discover the properties of materials whilst exploring visual language through drawing. We place a strong emphasis on drawing, as it is crucial to innovation across all creative disciplines regardless of specialisms. As a Department, we support student progress through regular weekly feedback sessions offering a platform for discussion and development to ensure creative practice and acquisition of skills are constantly progressing and moving forward. Students can develop and work independently, often choosing their own themes of investigation and they will be supported throughout the 2-year course by staff who are experienced within a wide variety of disciplines, enabling them to develop their creative practice. The course culminates in an extensive and exuberant exhibition that is open to family and friends.
- A minimum of five full GCSEs or equivalent at grades 9–5, which would include both English (Language or Literature) and Mathematics, with three of the passes at grade 6 or above. A GCSE in Art would be preferable
