Art

Welcome to ART in the sixth form.

There are some tasks laid out below to give you an idea of what the course is about and to get you ready for September.

Seeing art 'in the flesh' is a really important element of the course. Gallery and museum visits are highly recommended and essential for you to gain a greater understanding of art history and to help underpin what you do in your own practical work. Sixth form Art and Photography both require self-motivated learning and organisational skills to get out beyond your immediate surroundings and be inspired.

Please see also this list of sources to help get you inspired
