What the college says

This is a two year A Level course. At the centre of the Art departments teaching is that all students can and should be visually literate. An understanding of Art and Design is essential for the development and well being of each person. Sensitivity to the visual world and an imaginative approach towards giving visual form to subjective feelings and external appearances helps our students not only to understand themselves, but appreciate the world in which they live. Most of our students progress to the finest Art Schools including Chelsea, Central St Martins and Camberwell. Teaching staff are highly qualified enthusiastic practitioners who are passionate about their subject. The department has structured projects at A Level which aim to move skills on from GCSE. In each year there is a coursework project and a timed exam. The teaching is both tutorial and studio based and an area of strength is the way that the analysis and contextual studies are taught. Students are expected to have a high level of motivation and good drawing skills and at least a grade 6 from a GCSE Art course.Further information is available in our prospectus at www.uai.org.uk.
