Fine Art is a challenging and rewarding opportunity to explore media, materials and creativity. It is a personal course which explores students’ skills, ideas and understanding of Fine Art, this could be realist, abstract or conceptual. The course develops a whole range of skills and techniques including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography and collage. The course is excellent if you are considering employment in any creative industry. The exam board we use is Edexcel. First year Fine Art is 50% coursework which is taught from broad themes and through workshop style lessons allowing students to develop their own style whilst learning new skills and techniques. The other 50% is an externally set assignment based on a theme set by the exam board. The students are required to put together a unit of work in a 10 week period ending with the production of a final piece within 10 hours. Second year Fine Art is 60% coursework, this element of the course aims to develop the student’s style further placing greater emphasis on independence and material exploration. Differing slightly from AS level 12% of this comprises of a written personal study. This is an in-depth investigation of students own work and an analysis of the context it exists in. The other 40% is the externally set assignment which is where the students have 10 weeks to put together a unit of work based on the theme set by the exam board, this ends with the production of a final piece in 15 hours.
