THE SUBJECTS
OCR H161/H561 Mr A. Saralis
ART
The course is Fine Art based and builds on the knowledge, skill and
understanding established at GCSE and it is therefore desirable,
but not essential, that the students will have previously studied Art
successfully at that level. The aims and learning outcomes of the
course are to develop within the students:
• Intellectual, imaginative, creative and intuitive capabilities
• Investigative, analytical, experimental, practical, technical and
critical judgment
• Independence of mind in developing, refining and
communicating their own ideas, intentions and personal
outcomes
• The experience of working with a broad range of media.
• For students who wish to extend their studies beyond A Level
and to consider the subject as a basis for a career, the course
provides the student with a portfolio of work necessary for
interview to gain a place at the selected University or College
of Art. The range of specialist areas at Higher level is wide and
includes Fine Art, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Fashion and
Textile Design, Illustration, Theatre Design, Advertising, TV and
Video, Photography, Computer Aided Design, Conservation,
Architecture, Art Therapy and many others
