Fine Art – A Level (Eduqas)

About The Course

A Level Fine Art is a creative course that encourages you to develop your skills as a practising artist. You will be introduced to a variety of projects with the intention to build on your artistic skills and develop your use of materials. You will build a portfolio of work as a result of this before consolidating your learning within a personal investigative project and an externally set assignment. The course will also develop your critical understanding of contextual sources to support and develop your visual artwork.

WHAT WILL I NEED?

Learners will need:

  • Three GCSEs at grade 5 or above including English Language, plus two further GCSEs at grade 4 or above including Maths
  • If your English Language GCSE is at grade 5, one of your three GCSEs at grade 5 or above must be a literary subject (e.g. English Literature, History, Business Studies, Sociology, Geography)
  • A reference from your previous school/college

 *If you did not study GCSE Art and Design, or a related subject, we will assess your suitability based on a portfolio of work. For help and advice on building your portfolio of work, please click here.

 All applicants must have an interview to confirm that A Levels are suitable for them.

Please be aware that as this subject includes coursework, as well as an externally set assignment, you will only be permitted to have a choice of one other subject which includes coursework. Your third subject choice must be an exam-only assessed subject. For example, you would not be permitted to take Fine Art, History and Media as these all include coursework.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?

Assessment takes place regularly on the course to provide feedback to develop your visual artwork and written components (through one-to-one support and group critiques of work). The course contains two assessed components – a personal investigation portfolio and an externally set assignment.
