KS5 Art
What do students do in Year 12 and 13 in Art and Design
We offer “A” Levels in Fine Art and Applied Art and Design. Students cover a range of disciplines over the two years. There is a good combination of two and three dimensional work, where students have the opportunity to explore drawing, painting, fashion, textiles, printing, sculpture, and computer work.
In Applied Art and Design there is a greater emphasis on the vocational aspects of art, with students work on set brief to create professional outcomes for a given client.
In year 13 students on both courses develop a critical study for which they research an area of art that interests them, exploring various concepts and approaches to the creation of art. Students present their findings in a 3000 word essay.
Students are encouraged to explore their studies further at lunchtimes in the Art rooms. There is a “Malham Safari “ workshop in Mrs Scott’s room on a Tuesday lunchtime where they can develop their skills in working with three dimensional materials to produce large scale animals.
In year twelve the students go on two appropriate trips each year; this year we went to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the Liverpool Tate and Liverpool Museum.
