The Art Department at Little Heath School runs an exciting and challenging A level course. You will be actively encouraged to explore your creative potential in this varied and interesting subject. You will discover and learn challenging new techniques, building on what you have learned before, thus developing your artistic ability further. You will also discover a range of new artists to inspire your work, whilst developing your research and analytical skills.
You will need good basic drawing skills and you should be willing to experiment with new materials. You should also have a minimum GCSE Grade 4 in Art and Design. You must enjoy creating art; you should be enthusiastic and well motivated, and have a keen interest in artists and designers. If you do not have a GCSE in Art and Design, you may still be considered for the subject, but you will be required to present some recent work to illustrate your practical skills and suitability to the course.
Art is a linear A level. All work is assessed at the end of two years. All other additional work will be created in class or outside of lessons and will be marked in line with AQA guidelines.
