The two-year linear course with Eduqas (WJEC) allows us greater flexibility to deliver a course that is more engaging, creative, and structured to allow all students to improve both their artistic skills and their conceptual understanding of artwork. The course is suitable for students who have a minimum of a ‘5’ at GCSE in an art-related subject. A level of Fine Art can lead to a Foundation Course or directly into undergraduate study at university. In year 1 you will attend a series of workshops that cover the bases of visual language. You will be instructed on how to use artistic materials from a traditional standpoint before being given the freedom to explore these experimentally and creatively. You will learn how to use a wide range of artistic media, both 3D and 2D, with improved competence and how to deconstruct works of art to understand how other artists approach different topics and themes. By the summer you will have started your main A-level project, where you will use and display the skills you have acquired for a thorough, personal, and well-developed project. Year 2: You continue to develop your main portfolio of work to create a final piece. This is worth 60% of the A level. In February you will start a second project, which makes up the final 40% of the A level. At the end of year 13, we celebrate your successes with an external exhibition.
At least 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including Maths and English Language. This can include up to 2 BTEC level 2’s at Merit of above. Entry on Pathway 1 will allow students to choose up to 4 courses from the full range of A Levels & Diplomas. GCSE Art & Design Grade 5 or above
