This will include building up a portfolio of work supported by a sketchbook and preparation boards leading to a final piece or pieces of art work. If students are taking the AS course then there will be an externally set assignment. In the second year of the course; students will gain more independence as the course progresses which will lead to a personal investigation and an externally set assignment. Fine Art is a highly creative and exciting subject which engages students in a wide range of artistic tasks in drawing, painting, mixed-media, sculpture, installation, photography and print making. Students will be encouraged to broaden their artistic skills through a series of workshops in order to work independently developing their own ideas investigating a wide range of traditional and contemporary artists.
