Art and Design

Course summary

If students are creative, persistent and can use their initiative, A Level Art is a practical course that can open up the students’ potential. Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences that explore a range of two-dimensional and/ or three dimensional processes and techniques, online portfolios and digital media. Students must show evidence in two or more of the areas of study (Fine Art, Graphic Communication, Textile Design, 3D and Photography). A Level Art is designed to encourage a broad approach to art. Work produced will demonstrate the use of formal elements, creative skills and give visual form to individual thoughts, feelings, observations and ideas. At the start of Year 12, students will complete a number of satellite projects. In February, Yr 12 students will decide to focus on their chosen area/personal project that continues until the start of their exam preparation in Year 13. Students will be expected to visit galleries on their own or with the school.
