Students begin the GCSE AQA Fine Art course by completing a series of skills based projects which include drawing, printmaking and painting. These projects serve to equip students with a basic toolbox of skills which they can use, develop and refine in subsequent projects. Within these projects, they learn how to explore and respond to the work of other artists, record from observation and learn how to annotate and present their work.
They then choose a theme for their major personal project which takes them right through into Y11, when they start their Externally Set Task(exam) in January.

Take a look in the GCSE Art Gallery section too, for some brilliant examples of artwork.
