Studying Fine Art is a particularly rewarding subject for the motivated pupil; it extends across a broad range of disciplines, both theoretical and practical. The course is structured to engage pupils both intellectually and creatively, and they are given the confidence to follow their own diverse lines of enquiry, allowing them to develop high levels of self-motivation through the fostering of independent working practice. Through their time on the course students will explore several areas of study within fine art such as drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics and printmaking.
- GCSE Art grade 6 or above. - Average grade of 5.5 from your best 7 GCSE exams, including grade 5 or above in English language and mathematics.
