Course summary

The A Level Art course runs the AQA syllabus which encourages a broad approach and allows students to develop a sound grounding in a range of art based areas. The course includes a variety of skill based projects, with a focus on the application of the formal elements. Students are able to experiment and focus on a range of techniques and processes in-order to develop their skills in drawing, painting, collage, printing, marbling and use of mixed media. Students will have the opportunity to look at a varied range of genres and artistic styles including; contemporary and historical styles. This will lead on to a Personal Investigation which allows students to create a major project based on a theme/ idea/concept of their own. A final exam board set project will complete the course.
