Art and Design (Fine Art)

Entry Requirements

The course is designed to progress naturally from the GCSE Art course and to the A Level. Students contemplating Art at Advanced Level should have a high degree of creative and technical artistic ability, be well motivated, enthusiastic and self-disciplined. Students should be prepared to spend a good deal of time researching and developing their artwork outside teaching periods. Emphasis is very much put on personal research, ideas and responses to an Art situation. Appreciation and enjoyment of visiting Art exhibitions will complement this course greatly. The A Level course will be relevant and important to those pupils wishing to pursue such university courses as Architecture, Fine Art, History of Art, Applied Art, Design, Conservation, Curatorship etc and for pupils wishing to follow a Foundation course in Art prior to taking a specialist Art, Craft or Design Degree course.
