Fine Art is the expression of creative skill and imagination. It uses visual forms such as painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and printmaking, that are appreciated for their imaginative, aesthetic, or intellectual content. As part of the course, you will be exploring a variety of artistic styles and traditions from Europe and around the world, set in history and the present day. You will develop holistic skills such as creative problem-solving; the ability to learn from criticism and be objective about your work; an openness to new influences and concepts, all of which support a wide range of university courses and careers. Fine Art plays a fundamental role in the world of Architecture, Illustration, Graphic Design, Fashion, the Gaming and Film Industries.
You should be able to show a passion for this subject before embarking upon the A Level course. You will be expected to have attained a Grade 7 or above in Art and Design at GCSE and have strong technical skills. It is unusual for students who did not take GCSE to embark upon the course and any student that wishes to do so will need to discuss this with the Head of Department and provide a portfolio of work to support their request.
OCR A Level Fine Art course is assessed against four Assessment Objectives. Teachers internally assess all work, and an OCR representative visits the school to moderate these marks. AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops. AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress. AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
