Art & Design GCSE

This creative course is planned around a variety of starting points using a wide range of practical skills in 2D and 3D outcomes. These include drawing and painting, photography, printing, sculpture, clay and glass, animation, graphics and mixed media work.

A portfolio of work is created on skills based learning in the first instance and then more personal and self-expressive work as the course progresses. Using media and techniques of their own choice, students will have the opportunity to work with increased freedom to develop ideas.

During the course students will work from different locations as well as in the classroom and they will visit galleries and work with practising artists when developing their ideas. Using and creating digital and computer based work is encouraged to enhance creativity and make realistic links to the world of work and transferable skills for visual literacy.
