A Level History of Art is both rewarding and challenging. It allows for deep exploration and enquiry into world civilisations and allows students to develop analytical skills, construct written arguments and enhance their visual awareness as well as communication skills as they discuss ideas around works of art and architecture with other students and teachers. The study of History of Art develops a wide range of skills which makes it an excellent combination with a variety of other subjects. It combines well with languages, and for science specialists offers an alternative discipline. It could lead to a career in media, publishing and marketing, or in the more specialised world of auction houses, the heritage and leisure industries, or education and arts administration in this country or overseas. Our proximity to central London allows us to visit galleries regularly as a group, and individually for various homework assignments. Recent destinations for study trips overseas have included New York, Paris, Florence, Rome, Venice, Moscow and St Petersburg.
• At least 5 GCSEs at either 8 or 9 and three grades at 7. • GCSE grade 8 or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. • GCSE grade 7 or above in Mathematics and English Language. • For two science A Levels, or Maths alongside science, at least a grade 8 will be needed in both subjects. Students should be enthusiastic and open-minded. A visual curiosity and analytical abilities, together with well-developed observational, literary and historical skills, are important. Grade 8 in English at GCSE would be expected with a GCSE in History or Religious Studies being a very useful addition. First-hand observations and experience of art are vital as part of the learning.
