Fine Art (Art and Design)

Course summary

In Year 12, there is a strong focus on including work that shows exploration, research, development of techniques and skills. Recording from direct observation will be important at the start of the project. Ideas will then be developed to produce exciting personal work and well-informed responses. You will learn to analyse your own work and the work of other artists in contemporary and historical contexts. Experimentation with new media is very much encouraged with video, sound, image manipulation, casting, photography, painting, installation and sculpture being explored through a variety of approaches. During Year 13 you will refine your work and ideas and produce a written study.
