Art Three Dimensional Design (Sculpture) AS Level

UPDATED 20151217 14:05:24

Both the AS and A2 level art courses place a distinct emphasis on the exploration of ideas, materials, visual and other sensory sources. The concern is with the development of your individual responses to your own first hand experience. During the first two terms of the course, you will be encouraged to explore the creative potential of different media and processes. The aim of this essentially experimental phase is to encourage you to acquire and develop skills and awareness.Drawing from observation as a means of investigation and research will be an essential aspect of the course and all students will be expected to develop their experience and confidence in this area. You will also be encouraged to make connections with the work of other artists and the wider context of art and throughout the course you will have the opportunity to study selected aspects of art through lectures and visits.
