Fine Art AS Level & A Level The course looks at a range of fine art disciplines including an understanding of art from the past and present. What Entry Requirements Do I Need? The best foundation for success in AS and A Level Art is a good grade at GCSE or BTEC. However, this isn't a requirement. If you have an aptitude for the subject, if you are creative or 'good at drawing', you may have the basic skills to succeed. However, AS/A Level Art is not an easy option and you should be prepared to work hard at developing your abilities. You should have an understanding of the basic elements of art – colour, tone, form, etc. and also some understanding of the place of art and design in the world – its history and its purpose. Above all, you should have an interest in creating and understanding art and the determination to develop that interest. What Will I Learn On This Course? The main purpose of any course in art and design is to develop your ability to appreciate the visual world and to respond in a personal and creative way. The skills you will explore will be varied. Amongst them you will develop a working knowledge of materials, practices and technology within art and learn the skills to interpret and convey your ideas and feelings using art and design. You will improve your imaginative and creative powers and your experimental, analytical and documenting skills. You will also develop a specialist vocabulary and the knowledge and understanding of the place of art, craft and design in history and in contemporary society. Students who are looking to take up careers for which an art background is relevant. These might include advertising, publishing, architecture, museums, theatre or art gallery work. Students who have an interest in and aptitude for the subject, but who do not intend to take the subject beyond the AS or A Level. Key Skills
