A Level: Fine Art

Students who are highly creative and enjoy drawing/painting/printmaking alongside having an appreciation of the work of fine artists should consider studying AS and A2 Fine Art. During the course, students are encouraged to experiment with and develop skills using a wide variety of materials and techniques, with an aim of specialising in a more specific area in Year 13.

The course is very hands on and fast paced, and so requires a lot of commitment and dedication from students opting for Fine Art.
