If you are creative, reflective and disciplined then you should consider studying fine art. Visual analysis and creativity is a form of intelligence and can be developed and trained like any other. If you wish to acquire and further develop skills in traditional and contemporary forms of drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking, as well as an understanding of aesthetics and art criticism, then this may be the subject for you. Whilst this is a practical course, intellect is important. Students will need to be imaginative and demonstrate enthusiasm for exploring original ideas and the potential of materials. You will also need the determination to develop your draftsmanship skills and will have been awarded at least a grade 6 for GCSE Art. A good standard of written English is required for the two year A level course. Fine art at this level complements many other subjects and affords you a lifelong understanding of the subject.
GCSE Grade 6 Arts
Over the two year A level course there are two components. Component one is coursework and is worth 60% of the course, component two is an externally set assignment and is worth 40% of the course. All work will be internally marked in school by your subject teachers at the end of the course. A selection of students' work will then be moderated by a visiting moderator.
