Art A Level
Is this course for me?
A Level Art is a creative and inspiring course that allows students to develop their artistic skills, experiment with a range of media, and explore personal ideas and themes. Through practical work and critical analysis, students build a strong portfolio, preparing them for further study or careers in the creative industries.
A Level Fine Art encourages you to develop artistic skills, creativity, critical thinking, and knowledge of the art world. You will produce your own creative work, while studying the work of artists and art movements.
You will study the following areas:
Practical Studio Work: You will spend a significant amount of time working in the studio, exploring various media, techniques, and processes. You will create artwork in response to a series of projects, developing skills and expressing ideas visually.
Investigating and Experimenting: This involves research, exploration, and experimentation with different materials, styles, and approaches. You will investigate the work of artists and explore new artistic concepts and themes.
Critical and Contextual Studies: Study the work of different artists, art movements and historical and contemporary art contexts. Learn how to analyse and critically evaluate artworks, discussing their influences and significance.
Personal Investigation: In the second year you will undertake a personal investigation, which involves in-depth research and exploration of a chosen topic or theme. You will produce a body of artwork and a written component that explains their creative process and contextualizes your work.
