GCE A2 in Art

UPDATED 20161128 09:41:57

The AS art course is an excellent opportunity to develop your interest in art if you have studied art at KS4. There are two parts within the course. Unit one is on the theme of ‘Still Life ‘and starts in the autumn term. This project aims to improve your observational skills, develop your ability to independently resource interesting subject matter and improve your presentation and compositional skills. You will complete observational studies of a variety of objects looking at form, surface texture and wide range of tone. You will also be introduced to printing, painting and 3D sculptural techniques through a series of workshops and practitioner visits. You will look at the work of a variety of Still Life artists both traditional and contemporary to inform your own design and expand you knowledge within the art and design subject. The second part of the course in the spring term will be your exam paper where you will be expected to utilise the skills learnt in the first project and work more independently towards a final outcome in response to the exam theme.
