If you are a creative and motivated student, with a genuine interest in the subject, regardless of career choices, then Fine Art A Level is for you! The course builds on skills you have already developed at GCSE and allows more ambitious and personal work to be tackled. In the past, students have taken the subject because they have a talent for it, wish to study Art at degree level or because they felt it complemented their other subjects. During the course you will be introduced to a variety of experiences that explore a range of fine art media, processes and techniques. As part of the course you will explore the use of drawing and painting for different purposes, working on both large and small scale outcomes. The use of sketchbooks will underpin your studies from the outset. You will explore a range of resources relating to a range of art, craft and design from the past and more recent times. Organised school trips to galleries and exhibitions along with your own independent visits will play an important part throughout the A Level course. If you have a particular skill in textiles, photography or film making this may also be utilised during the production of your portfolio.
