Art & Design: Fine Art
Dunraven School
Course summary
Art and Design 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 develop their ability to actively engage in the processes of Art and Design – to build creative skills through learning and making, to develop imaginative and intuitive ways of working and develop knowledge and understanding of media, materials and technologies in historical and contemporary contexts, societies and cultures. This course is suitable for any student who has artistic skill. You should have an understanding and knowledge of practical art and design based skills, preferably from having successfully completed a GCSE course in Art or equivalent. You need an interest, flair and a commitment to the subject. You will learn how to record observations, experiences and ideas in visual and other forms. You will analyse and evaluate sources and objects, developing an understanding of purposes, meanings and contexts. Your ideas will develop through sustained investigations and explorations, selecting and using materials and processes, interpreting relationships and analysing methods and outcomes. You will learn to present a personal, coherent and informed response, realising your intentions and articulating and explaining connections with the work of others.
