Art and Design:Fine Art A level
at Rainham Mark Grammar School, Gillingham · school or sixth form
What the college says
Students learn to record and draw using a wide range of materials and techniques. They will have the opportunity to experiment with different printmaking techniques, Digital Photography and Photo Shop. They investigate and study the work of a wide range of artists and designers from different times, styles and genres. Students also develop ideas for their own work, taking account of what they have learnt and refining these ideas into final projects and 2D or 3D pieces of work. We take part in Life Drawing days at UCA (university for the Creative Arts) Rochester and visits to galleries and exhibitions. Students follow the AQA Art and Design (Fine Art) specification. This is a two year course and will be examined at the end of year 13.
