The A level course encourages pupils to develop skills, creativity, imagination, and independence based on personal experience, taught skills and critical understanding. Pupils show this through their responses to a range of stimuli. Fine Art at Oundle is a vibrant and exciting subject with a reputation for diverse and mature work. The Art course in the Sixth Form is exciting and flexible. It progresses naturally from the philosophies and approaches adopted at GCSE. We encourage and expect pupils to pursue personal paths. There are considerable opportunities open to them in terms of the range and scale of the work they may undertake. Art is a subject that encourages individuals to be creative, reflective, communicative and appreciative of the world around them. Pupils undertake analytical drawing from the model throughout the course.
The minimum entry requirement is three subjects in Grade 6 and three in Grade 7, or equivalent, at GCSE (including Mathematics and English). It is highly desirable to have a Grade 7, 8 or 9 in the subjects to be taken at Sixth Form and, in practice, most successful candidates will have an 8 or 9 or equivalent in most subjects.
Each assessment objective is worth 25%. • Develop their ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. • Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining their ideas as their work develops. • Record in visual and/or other forms ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, demonstrating an ability to reflect on work and progress. • Present a personal, informed and meaningful response demonstrating critical understanding, realising intentions and, where appropriate, making connections between visual, oral or other elements.
