A Level Art and Design
at Chace Community School, Enfield · school or sixth form
What the college says
Students will work within a wide variety of art disciplines and are encouraged to work within the medium which best reflects their skills. The main areas available to students are drawing and painting, printmaking (lino, silkscreen, monoprinting and batik), sculpture (ceramics, card, wood, plaster, and wire) and photography. Students are encouraged to attend life drawing classes and other workshops offered by the Art department and outside agencies. Critical studies is an integral part of the course and students will be expected to investigate and analyse the work of others artists and use this to inform their own work. Trips to galleries and museums will be organised, including our annual trip abroad, of which past destinations have included: Paris, Rome, Florence and Barcelona. We also expect students to visit galleries in their own time.
