Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Our A level follows the fine art specialism. This allows for an extremely broad approach, encompassing both traditional as well as new techniques and media. These include painting (watercolour, acrylic and oils), printmaking (monotype, lino, drypoint and screen-printing), sculpture (clay, card, paper wax and mixed-media), photography (silver and digital), film-making (live-action and animation). Underpinning everything is the continuous development of observational skills, with weekly life drawing classes and an emphasis on drawing to express opinion and ideas at all times.
