The A-Level Fine Art course is designed to stimulate and challenge participants. They will develop their conceptual and imaginative approach to fine art practice, underpinned by practical making skills relevant to a diverse range of processes, employing a wide variety of materials and techniques. A productive and purposeful engagement with the work of other artists, and broader contextual references and sources of inspiration, is key to developing a participant’s own practice. A willingness to approach the course with an open and enquiring mind is crucial. Responding to a sense of personal challenge informed by the ambition to make an individual and meaningful body of work is central to the course. We particularly value the creation of a positive and mutually supportive group dynamic between staff and students in the specialist A-Level studio, where all participants are allotted an individual space for use in lessons and when accessing the studios independently.
Students wishing to study Fine Art should have achieved a minimum of a Grade 6 in any Art & Design GCSE (eg Fine Art, Textiles, 3DD). Applicants without this should ideally have a portfolio interview with Brendan Horstead where they can show examples of work and be advised accordingly in relation to their suitability.
1. Personal Investigation, 60% of qualification, internally assessed, externally moderated. 2. Externally Set Assignment, 40% of qualification, internally assessed, externally moderated.
