When studying Fine Art, you will spend time learning and improving your
drawing, painting, printmaking and mixed media skills and applying them to set
projects. Fine Art involves making a practical and personal response to a
subject and linking it to the work of other artists. Throughout the course you
will be required to write annotations and evaluations to support the development
of your practical artwork.

(If you have not formally undertaken an art related subject at GCSE, entry to A Level Art may be considered based on presentation of a portfolio of indepentally produced creative/art work.)
This course is principally assessed by coursework (a portfolio of Art work produced through completion of various projects through the two years of the course), with an externally set timed component in Year 2 (similar in structure to GCSE Art).
The course is an excellent starting point for more advanced studies in a variety of creative subjects and can lead to career routes including art, graphic design, fashion design, animation, illustration, product design, advertising and marketing.
