Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

The Art and Design department offers a range of A Level options to students: Fine Art, 3D Design, Fashion and Textile and Photography. Not all of these courses will run each year, this will depend on the interest in each subject. Post A level you can pursue a one-year Art and Design Foundation course, prior to degree in a specialist area, or some students apply direct to specialist Art and Design degree courses. The Head of Department will help you to select and apply to Art and Design Schools and to prepare a portfolio for interview. Art and Design A levels are seen as equivalent to any other A level by universities for UCAS applications. The course encourages a broad approach to a range of areas of Fine Art inspired by the study of historical and contemporary artists. You will gain skills in research, observation, development and experimentation in a range of media, processes and techniques.
