What the college says

Here at Tretherras we offer a wide range of opportunities and experiences for students within Art. We believe it is important to offer a range of processes and techniques for students to explore everything from: Traditional Drawing and Painting, Ceramics, Sculpture, Printmaking, Photography and Digital Art. Under-pinning our courses and projects is the importance of introducing students to the multitude of influence out there in the world of art today: from historical to contemporary, local to global, the world of art is changing and evolving and we want our Art department and our students’ work to reflect that. “Creativity is intelligence having fun!” Albert Einstein

What you need to get on

We expect students to obtain a 5 grade at GCSE to be able to cope with the course, however students who have gained a strong 4 will be considered after consultation with their GCSE teacher. Students from another school need to bring a portfolio of work to show Mr. Strugnell if they have gained a 4 grade at GCSE. Students who have not taken GCSE Art will be considered but need to present a portfolio which should include drawing from observation, some photography and work in a range of media.

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.
