A level Fine Art is a lively and exciting course, providing students with a great deal of freedom to experiment and explore, using a wide range of materials and methods. Students develop excellent problem-solving skills, and in-depth knowledge of a broad range of artists and extend and expand upon their technical abilities in many different areas. We run life a series of Life Drawing sessions during the Michaelmas term every year, exploring a range of media. In September 2023, we will also have an Artist’s visit - urban landscape specialist, Jeanette Barnes will be joining us to explore local architecture. We have many students going on to study Foundation courses at prestigious London institutions, including Kingston University, Camberwell School of Art, City and Guilds of London Art School, and the Prince’s Drawing School. Art can lead to a broad range of different careers, including Graphic Design, Product Design, Furniture Design, Illustration, Architecture, Set Design, Interior Design, Fashion and Photography.
A minimum of 7 GCSEs awarded at grade 6 or above. These should include English and Mathematics.
Coursework Element: 60% - the Personal Portfolio component, for which each student chooses their title, the artists that they would like to respond to and the media in which they choose to work. Students will develop this component from January of L6 until January of U6, with a mid-point assessment forming their 10-hour L6 end-of-year exam in May. Their 15-hour U6 mock exam in January will provide the outcome of the project. Students also write an extended essay of 1000 to 3000 words, linking closely with their Project. Exam Element: 40% - the final project, beginning in February of L6, with a series of 7 titles from the exam board for students to choose from, concluding with a final 15-hour exam in May, to finish the course. This early finish is highly advantageous, providing students with additional time to focus on their remaining subjects.
