Art and Design (Fine Art)
Course summary
A Level Fine Art is a direct continuation of the GCSE course and follows the same assessment format. Pupils work in a highly motivated and independent fashion, their passion and enthusiasm for the subject is supported by highly qualified teachers who are incredibly interested in the wider world of art & design and are on hand to share their expertise. Our well-resourced course enables pupils to consider further study or employment in a wide range of creative careers such as: architecture, interior design, museum and exhibition design, photography, theatre design, costume design, make up, jewellery, fashion, illustration, product design, and furniture design. For those seeking employment in a different sector, a creative and observant mind can be a quality that sets them apart from the rest of the field.
