Year 10: Curriculum Intent The GCSE Fine Art course aims to promote learning across a variety of experiences and through various processes, techniques, materials and resources to generate evidence of a clear creative journey leading to informed and meaningful outcomes. During the course students are encouraged to develop a greater awareness and appreciation of the history of art and contemporary practice and students are offered the experience of working with a visiting practicing artist. During Year 10 students will produce a series of work towards their Component 1 portfolio, covering all four AQA assessment objectives. |
