When the world went into lockdown; what did a lot of indviduals turn to? When we were unable to go out shopping and had to entertain ourselves; how did people express themselves? There was a huge emphasis on the creative arts; whether it be the NHS rainbow or lockdown photography; Art prevailed as a hugely important output for society. Are you a creative, independent young mind? Do you see the world differently? Are you not averse to taking risks? Are you dedicated and passionate about Art? Are you a self-motivated worker? If you answered YES to these questions then A-Level Art & Design is the course for you. Throughout the course, students will be required to demonstrate an ability to research ideas in depth, both through an exploration of artists and their work to other contextual sources such as museum visits with an ability to analyse and offer personal judgements. Furthermore pupils will need to have a substantially developed ability to draw and record ideas; this will provide them with the fundamental skills required to develop and extend practical and theoretical skills; experimenting with a wide range of media and processes from personally selected starting points. Students may have the opportunity to experience visits to local and national galleries and practical workshops. Our creative industries are a real success story. They are worth more than £36 billion a year; they generate £70,000 every minute for the UK economy; and they employ 1.5 million people in the UK. According to industry figures, the creative industries account for around £1 in every £10 of the UK’s exports. Art plays a fundamental role in this industry. Art combines well with History, Business Studies, Media Studies, English, Mathematics, Science and Expressive Arts. Many students go on to Foundation courses leading to specialist degrees in a wide variety of Arts subjects including; Fine Art, Art History, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Illustration, Textiles, Film & Animation, Silversmithing, Ceramics, Millinery, Industrial Design, Interior Design, Advertising & Marketing, Photography and Architecture.
