History of Art is a very popular subject at Fine Arts College. A-level History of Art assumes no prior knowledge of this area of study and is suitable for a range of students who wish to develop their interest in and enjoyment of, the subject. The subject examines the relationships between society and art, exploring how historical and social contexts contribute to the interpretation and meaning of painting, sculpture and architecture. Students develop a historical and critical awareness of great works from Ancient Greece and Rome to the present day. Students also acquire an understanding of key techniques, colour, styles, composition and the use of visual signs. Teaching is centred on class discussions and presentations using slides and online materials. Students acquire a sophisticated grasp of research skills through regular essay writing, the analysis of works of art and architecture and critiquing art-historical texts. For this reason, students develop strong critical thinking skills and the ability to analyse and interpret information from a range of sources, skills that are highly valued by employers and universities alike.
We advise any A-level students who have not achieved a 9 - 4 grade in either English or Maths GCSE to continue to study these subjects. Tuition can be undertaken either at Fine Arts College or privately and the exam(s) may be sat here.
The History of Art A level consists of two externally-examined papers: PAPER ONE: VIRTUAL ANALYSIS AND THEMES Section A – Virtual analysis: Painting Sculpture Architecture Section B – Themes: Identities in art and architecture War in art and architecture PAPER TWO: PERIODS Invention and Illusion: The Renaissance in Italy (1420-1520) Brave New World: Modernism in Europe (1900-1939) Rebellion and revival: the British and French Avant-Garde (1848–99)
