A Level Fine Art provides students with opportunities to develop personal responses to ideas, observations, experiences, environments and cultures in practical, critical and contextual forms. This four-unit specification, two at AS level and two at A2, requires students to develop their ability to show a range of skills. These include:
ƒ?›Developing your own ideas leading to individual responses and outcomes
ƒ?›Working with a range of media, including traditional and new media
ƒ?›An awareness of different roles, functions, audiences and consumers of art and design
ƒ?›Researching the work of artists / analyse and evaluate
ƒ?›Ability to draw and use art media
ƒ?›Creative experimentation and development
The Art and photography department is a lively and friendly teaching and learning environment where individual ideas, experimentation and risk-taking will be encouraged. As A level students you will be introduced to a variety of experiences exploring a range of fine art media, techniques and processes. This will include both traditional and new technologies. As a subject it stimulates
and develops the imagination and critical thinking as well as strengthening problem-solving and critical-thinking skills which adds to overall academic achievement and school success.
