A Level Art and Design enables pupils to delve deep into personal investigation projects and showcase their artistic voice. Pupils continue crafting art portfolios that will become their passports to a colourful future beyond Bryanston.
A Level artists complete a three-month externally set assignment in Year 13 (A2), where they’ll push boundaries and showcase their artistic excellence.
Our dedicated staff guide pupils every step of the way, from supporting them with university applications to guiding them on the right artistic future pathway.
Fine Art and 3D Art
Pupils will develop advanced visual research skills. Coursework is in the same format as the GCSE, with a blend of theory and practice. However there is far more emphasis on pupils exploring ideas and techniques.
Developing a range of drawing skills with our pupils is now a central aspect of both these A Level courses. Independence and creativity are important credentials.
Photography
A keen interest in both the creative aspects of photography and learning the technical aspect of the course to enhance pupil’s work through both digital and analogue techniques is essential.
Strong organisational skills and independent skills are also key to the development of their work. Pupils may be required to submit a photography portfolio and a statement that highlight’s their interest in this subject. It is also highly encouraged that you attend the Photography ECA in the Summer term of B.
