Course summary

The Fine Art course is designed to follow on from the GCSE Art courses offered in Graphic Communication, Textile Design Fine Art and Three Dimensional Design. It is recommended that one of these courses has been successfully completed at GCSE to maintain the high demand of the work and independence required to study an A Level course. Students will produce practical and critical/contextual work in one or more areas of study, for example: drawing, painting, mixed-media, sculpture, ceramics, installation, moving image and photography. The two year course will comprise of a personal investigation, which will include written material around a student’s individual artwork and chosen line of enquiry. This will include a structured, extended response of between 1000 and 3000 words of continuous prose. Each student’s investigation will be an in-depth study that demonstrates the student’s ability to construct and develop a sustained line of reasoning, from an initial starting point to a final realisation. There is also an externally set practical assignment including a development period from the 1st February plus a 15 hour supervised examination.
