• EXAM BOARD: EDEXCEL • ENTRY CRITERIA: GRADE 5 FINE ART GCSE • HEAD: MS S GREALISH SGREALISH@HAYDONSCHOOL.COM Fine art requires engagement with aesthetic and intellectual concepts through the use of traditional and/or digital media, materials, techniques and processes for the purpose of self-expression, free of external constraints. Fine Art may be created to communicate ideas and messages about the observed world, the qualities of materials, perceptions, or preconceptions. It can also be used to explore personal and cultural identity, society and how we live, visual language, and technology. Fine Art allows us to consider and reflect on our place in the world, both as individuals and collectively.
