Art and Design (Fine Art)

Course summary

This course is intended for pupils who wish to pursue their studies of Art and Design to a greater depth than required for GCSE. It combines a breadth and depth of study with a freedom of choice to accommodate a wide range of individual needs. We aim to develop skills introduced at GCSE while helping students to understand art to a greater degree so that they can make art with a greater critical understanding. Effective A Level candidates will be prepared to experiment and quickly take charge of their own work. The full A Level is a two year course. In year 13 students will put together a portfolio of coursework and produce a supporting study.
