Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

This course consists of an initial skills based period, during which time students are introduced to a wide range of materials and processes. An important focus is on recording through using drawing and other appropriate visual forms. Pupils will develop the ability to select, edit and progress their ideas, using appropriate visual language and terminology. In January the Externally Set Task will provide students with a number of themes. You will pick one option to explore independently, with guidance from your teacher. During the preparatory period you will research, plan and develop ideas for your own response, which will be realised in a 10 hour controlled period of time. This unit carries 100% of the total marks.
