- The Course
The course builds on the skills developed at G.C.S.E. The department
involves the students in a variety of activities with a heavy emphasis
on History of Art, observation, problem solving, technique,
understanding materials, methodical research, experimentation and
presentation. Gallery trips are a necessity and students are expected to
spend longer than the allotted time on their projects. Below is an
outline of the course.

- What kind of students is this course
suitable for?
-
- .Students
who have achieved at least a C grade at GCSE and are committed to the
subject.
- .Students
who wish to undertake further studies in art, craft and design, usually
at art college or further education.
- .Students
who are looking to take up careers for which an art background is
relevant. These might include advertising, publishing, architecture,
museums, theatre, television, fashion, etc.

that we run in conjunction with Putney School of Art and would be
expected to keep a sketchbook/work journal.
