This is a two-year, linear A Level course. Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences that employ a range of traditional and new media, processes, and techniques appropriate to the Fine Art course. Knowledge of art, craft, and design is developed through research, development of ideas and making, working from first-hand experience, and, where appropriate, secondary source materials. Students will be required to participate actively in their course of study, recognizing and developing their own strengths in the subject and identifying and sustaining their own lines of enquiry.
5 grade 4 or above at GCSE level which must include a grade 5 or above in GCSE Art & Design or another Art & Design based subject.
Students will produce practical and critical/contextual work in one or more areas of study, for example, drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, installation, printmaking, moving images (video, film, animation), and photography. Students will produce a coursework portfolio of work, which accounts for 60% of the A Level grade, and an Externally Set Task which accounts for 40% of the A Level grade. Students will be given the opportunity to display their artwork in an Art Exhibition at the end of both Year 12 and Year 13.
