  • A Level Fine Art

    School Leavers (16-18)

    Work with a range of mixed media, predominantly exploring painting, drawing, textural and image-based collage, and print making. A Level Fine Art is a traditional and long standing A Level that underpins all art specialisms. Students will be taught core skills such as drawing, critical art history analysis and idea development that will give them the foundation to progress into many different areas within the creative sector. Many students combine academic ‘facilitating’ subjects with A Level Fine Art if they have a strong creative ability. This gives students the opportunity to stand out from the crowd, to demonstrate their creative and practical ability and problem solving skills. It also has different deadlines and structure to exam driven A Levels which can often balance well in the academic year.
