The A level Fine Art course requires students to express their creative ideas using imagination and feelings to respond to given themes or topics. The A level Fine Art course is a mixture of new and familiar media and techniques. The emphasis is on individual development, with every student working on their own personal outcomes. Although the course is Fine Art-based, there are opportunities to work outside this parameter using photography, print and fibre art. The course provides engaging and innovative creative learning experiences, where art and design practice is meaningfully integrated with theoretical knowledge and understanding. Students have opportunities to develop a broad foundation of critical, practical and theoretical skills, which offer a holistic understanding of a range of practices and contexts in the visual arts, crafts and design fields. This culminates in greater specialism and achievement in the second A level year.
Candidates must gain a minimum of a Grade 5 in both English Language and Mathematics, and a further five GCSEs graded 6/7 or above.
The Personal Investigation consists of two integrated constituent parts: A major in-depth critical, practical and theoretical investigative project/portfolio and outcomes based on themes and subject matters that have personal significance. An extended written element of 1000 words, which may contain images and texts and must clearly relate to practical and theoretical work using an appropriate working vocabulary and specialist terminology. COMPONENT 1: PORTFOLIO AND WRITTEN ELEMENT 120 marks 60% of A level COMPONENT 2: PRACTICAL 15 hours 80 marks 40% of A level
