Course summary

Art allows you develop creativity and artistic style that reflects who the student is as an individual. An A Level in this subject will build on the creativity and skills gained at GCSE but in a more independent, personal, in-depth and exciting manner. Students build a very personal and continually evolving body of practical work that is supported by contextual studies. By exploring and developing ideas core skills are strengthened and new techniques developed. Creative subjects are additionally core to developing a range of unique but transferable skills that can be utilised in all aspects of life. Being able to respond creatively to different situations often allows you to navigate through the challenges and be resilient to the obstacles encountered.
