The UK creative industries are renowned across the globe and are generating almost 10 million pounds per hour. Our girls live in a fast-paced visual world; which they need to understand and thrive within. Their visual communication skills and ability to be creative have never been so important. At Badminton, we believe that our pupils benefit from diverse exposure to artists and a multi-disciplinary range of techniques. Our Art Studios are industrious, fast-paced and exciting. The AS and A2 Fine Art course offers pupils the opportunity to gain proficiency in a wide range of media and processes including painting and drawing, textiles, printmaking, ceramics, and mixed media. Initially, projects are set by staff to ensure syllabus coverage, but topics are designed to be open-ended and interpreted in individual ways. The course is lively and sti mulati ng; it builds on the knowledge and skills gained at GCSE Level. Art is a unique subject area offering invaluable learning opportunities for pupils where seeing, feeling, thinking and making are combined in a powerful form of visual and tacti le communication.
COMPONENT 1 Personal Investigation: Pupils develop work based on an idea, issue, concept or theme leading to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. COMPONENT 2 Externally Set Assignment: Pupils respond to a stimulus, provided by AQA, to produce work which provides evidence of their ability to work independently within specified time constraints.
