Are you keen to develop your artistic passion and enrich your skills and experience of drawing and painting? Our esteemed Fine Art program is designed to provide you with a comprehensive and well-rounded curriculum, empowering you to develop a diverse skill set and nurture your artistic abilities. Fine Art not only enhances your observational skills but also nurtures your technical and creative abilities in drawing, painting, and printmaking. This course serves as an ideal stepping stone for entry into any creative or Art & Design-based degree program. Many of our former students have established successful careers as practicing artists, designers, and architects. With a wealth of industry-standard equipment and resources at your fingertips, coupled with our strong connections with universities, artists, and designers, we provide unparalleled support and opportunities for your artistic growth and future success in the dynamic world of art. Our previous students have successfully pursued careers as fine artists, community arts workers, illustrators, games designers, printmakers, art therapists, public artists and teachers.
General entry requirements are 5 or more GCSEs graded 4/5 or above including English Language, and ideally, Maths. To embark on Fine Art A Level at QMC, an Art GCSE grade 4 or above is required.
Assessment in the Fine Art A Level course revolves around four objectives that evaluate your ability to develop ideas in response to contextual references, explore a variety of media, record observations, and produce final outcomes and evaluations. The assessment is a combination of coursework, which accounts for 60%, and an externally set assignment, which accounts for 40% of your final grade. The portfolio component of the course allows you to embark on a practical investigation, conducting in-depth research and establishing coherent and sustainable links between your emerging art and design practice and historical and contemporary references. Collaborating with your teacher, you will negotiate a theme that holds personal relevance to you, showcasing your creativity and analytical skills. This component aims to develop your ability to investigate and research art and design, enabling you to respond creatively to your findings while effectively resolving artistic challenges. The externally set assignment represents the culmination of your A-Level course. You will be given a preparatory period to develop ideas in response to a chosen question, followed by a 15-hour timed period to produce your own artwork, encapsulating the skills and techniques you have acquired throughout the program.
