What the college says

You will further develop and master skills learnt at GCSE and encounter new media, techniques, and methods of working. You will build on your knowledge of materials and practices, develop further your interpretative and analytical powers, and explore your imaginative and creative potential. You will also develop a specialist vocabulary and increase your knowledge and understanding of art, craft, and design. Underpinning all work will be the use of sketchbooks and the exploration of ideas through drawing and other research media such as photography. You will study the following disciplines in individual projects at the beginning of the A Level course fine art, photography, graphic communications, textiles, and 3D design, before specialising in at least one as an extended project. The broad nature of this course makes it well suited to students who have studied any of these creative disciplines at GCSE. (AQA)
