Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms V. Sandes.

Recommended Prior Learning

Open entry. However, where the Level 1 Visual Art External Standard has been attempted and not achieved, entry into Level 2 Art is at the discretion of the HOD.

This combined course provides students with a thorough grounding in both Printmaking and Sculpture. Students will develop an understanding of the principles underlying the making of prints and sculptures. They will develop knowledge of current processes, procedures, materials, techniques, and conventions. 

This will also involve learning the skills of research, generating ideas, and developing these ideas in a systematic way through to finished artworks. Students will be encouraged to use contemporary artist models for their own work. 

Students will be required to produce two External Assessed two-panel folios.
