If you have an aptitude for art, are creative, imaginative and enthusiastic, but above all, have ideas to communicate, then you will love this subject. You will also need to have good general drawing and painting ability and a sound knowledge and understanding of art media in order to succeed.
Exploration and experimentation at A Level are certainly encouraged and so it is important to understand that you will be trying new ways of working and taking a few more risks than perhaps you did at GCSE.
If you have a genuine interest in the world of art, from the old masters to the contemporary and you love the process of creating art, then this could certainly be the course for you.
A Level Fine Art is an incredibly rewarding course for motivated students, however you should be prepared to work hard at developing your skills and please remember that the production of quality work takes time. Success in this subject requires determination and dedication but above all, self-motivation, organisation and a love of Art.
