The A Level course in Fine Art allows students to extend and develop their skills in a wide range of media. Students are encouraged to pursue their own particular interests, be that painting, film and video, sculpture, mixed media and printmaking. They are encouraged to explore and refine their ideas, taking into account their own emerging personal style. Recording information through drawing or related means, forms the basis of these studies. The course fosters independent learning and research skills in students, whilst providing them with a solid grounding in practical techniques. Critical and contextual studies are fundamental.
