Art (Fine Art)

Course summary

The Fine Art course provides students with a wide range of creative, exciting and stimulating opportunities to explore their interests in ways that are both personally relevant and developmental in nature. This subject enables students to build creative skills through learning and making, and to develop knowledge and understanding of media, materials and technologies in historical and contemporary contexts, societies and cultures. The course suits students that understand practical art, preferably having completed a GCSE in Fine Art or equivalent. You will learn how to record observations, experiences and ideas in visual and other forms, analysing and evaluating sources and objects, developing an understanding of purposes, meanings and contexts. Your ideas will develop through sustained investigations, using materials and processes, in order to present a personal, coherent and informed response, realising your intentions and articulating connections with the work of others.
