A Level Fine Art is an exciting course which will help you to develop current and new skills in a wide range of media.The course combines traditional and contemporary approaches to drawing,painting, printing, mixed media,photography, digital art and sculpture.Students are encouraged to experiment with both visual and conceptual ideas;whilst focusing on a personal line of enquiry. You will explore various contextual references including the work of artists, craftspeople designers and other contextual sources to help inspire ideas;developing this into a final outcome.There are two units of content which make up the A Level Fine Art course;coursework and examination. The coursework element offers complete freedom of topic and media choice, as we believe that students should be given every opportunity to work to their strengths. Component 1: Personal Investigation & Related Study You will choose a starting point/ theme from which you will develop a body of work over the two years.The course will commence with ideas gathering and you will produce a series of observational studies based on your chosen theme. This will be followed by the development of ideas through research, analysis and media experimentation working from observation and from your imagination and taking inspiration from artists and other contextual sources. Ideas will then be developed through sketchbook planning into a final outcome demonstrating a high level of skill and independent thought. Gallery and museum visits will be encouraged, as well as a dedication to continue your investigations outside lesson time. The coursework unit will also be supported by a piece of written work relating to your Personal Investigations (1000 words minimum). Component 2: Externally Set Task You will respond to one starting point from the exam paper; developing your skills and knowledge through a wide range of experimental techniques and processes; whilst using contextual references as inspiration for further ideas. A supervised time of fifteen hours will be given to producing a final outcome which brings together your ideas referenced in your sketchbook work.
