Studying Fine Art is essentially about learning to pursue a personal creative journey. This course is designed to follow on from the structure of the G.C.S.E. course and will be a natural and familiar continuation for students. The structure of the course offers rich opportunities for students to pursue their own interests and line of enquiry. Through contextual referencing, critical understanding, and technique workshops students will develop their own visual language. Experimentation with a wide range of media is encouraged. Throughout the course we aim to foster an enquiring mind, enjoyment and appreciation of Art as a visual language. As the course progresses students will produce an extensive body of work on a theme of personal interest. Enthusiasm, self-motivation and commitment to the subject are the key to success. Fine art offers opportunities to use your creativity to express yourself. It will enable you to work independently and to make your own discoveries by exploring ideas, other artists’ work and different materials and techniques. Fine Art gives you the skills and knowledge to create personal and imaginative work. If you have an adventurous, creative and inquiring mind and you are excited by shaping and determining the visual world around us, there is a career opportunity waiting for you.
Grade 6 or above in GCSE Art or another Art and Design discipline. Students without this should be able to demonstrate an interest in an area of Art and Design through some examples of their creative work.
