Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

At GCSE, Fine Art encompasses all media and creative disciplines and will involve drawing, painting, 3D studies, photographic processes, printmaking, textiles techniques, and digital art. Pupils will become proficient in a range of skills and will experience a variety of processes and techniques, and will use these to develop their own ideas, concepts and imagery in their chosen medium in the form of an extended practical coursework project, developed and refined into an ambitious and accomplished final artwork. Contemporary cultural context and aspects of art history will be taught and further researched as it applies to the practical inquiry of each pupil.
