Course summary
The A Level begins with a thorough introduction to assessment objectives, exam board marking schemes and exemplar work. Studying A Level Fine Art gives students the opportunity to complete a personal study portfolio in which they will develop their own ideas and practical skills in a wide range of media using a variety of techniques. They will study the work of artists or designers, analyzing their work and studying it in its wider historical context through a written essay. Students will reflect on their own work and refine it in order to complete a final piece using all knowledge gained from their studies. Teachers will guide the students in selecting to study Fine Art. An emphasis is placed on complex ideas from the start of the course. Students are taught to develop their project in a highly personal and original way, resulting in very high quality work.
