The course is structured to build on and improve the skills you have already gained at GCSE. By completing research and visiting galleries, we aim to develop your understanding of aesthetic qualities and an awareness of the importance of art and design in our own culture and others. We hope to foster your ability to articulate ideas, feelings and opinions about personal work and that of others to assist with your own self-expression. By developing your powers of visual perception and the exploration of elements in the visual world, we will enable you to manipulate these with a growing ability. Firstly, we aim to impart a genuine enjoyment of the subject and a growing sense of selfconfidence and self-esteem.
You will need to have completed a GCSE in the subject. The most important requirements are that you have an interest in the subject and will apply yourself with enthusiasm, effort and commitment.
The course that you will follow at A-level is endorsed Art & Design (Fine Art) as specified by the examination board, AQA. The A-level specification is comprised of some initial experiments, one component of practical coursework (personal investigation) supported by a written element of no less than 1000 and no more than 3000 words, and an externally set assignment, which concludes with a 15-hour examination. The personal investigation unit counts for 60% and the externally set task unit makes up the remaining 40% of the final grade.
