Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

The Fine Art A-level course at SWB provides pupils with the opportunity to explore, research and acquire Art techniques. At the start of the course pupils will embark on a number of workshops to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding in a range of Fine Art media. Pupils will explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to Fine Art, developing their understanding of materials, media, and processes to explore their strengths and preferences. Students will show evidence of trying to extend their own and others’ way of seeing the world. Work produced for this qualification will demonstrate the use of formal elements and creative skills in a process of creative problem solving.
