Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

Art in the Sixth Form is a great opportunity to continue with a creative and expressive examination option. You are seen as an individual with your own talents and are encouraged to follow your own path to becoming an artist or designer, whether in painting, ceramics, textiles, or a combination of these. You can be entered for General Art and Design, Fine Art or Textiles. You will have your own working space allocated to you in our exclusive Sixth Form Studio and can use this space whenever you wish (as long as a teacher is in the building). Art and Design encourages independent learning and critical thinking. It involves learning through practical work and includes the study of artists and designers, with regular visits to galleries and exhibitions.
