Learners will explore, research and acquire techniques and develop their skills, knowledge and understanding
in a range of media. They will explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to Fine Art. Learners
may use traditional methods and/or digital techniques to produce work. They are expected to demonstrate
specialisation in particular materials, media or processes to allow for an appropriate depth of study. This can
be achieved by working toward the extension and development of particular themes, ideas or issues. Drawing
skills should be understood and developed as appropriate to the ways of recording and communicating
intentions, ideas and emotions in the context of Fine Art.
Learners will be required to demonstrate skills in the understanding and use of pictorial space and real space,
composition, rhythm, scale and structure. They must show an understanding and application of formal
elements such as colour, line, tone, texture, shape and form, selecting, editing and developing ideas. Learners
must use appropriate visual language and terminology within Fine Art. They will show understanding and use
of relevant conventions and genres in Fine Art such as figurative, abstract and symbolic.
Learners will also build and evidence an understanding of relevant technologies, materials, processes and
resources. Show and understanding of continuity and change in different genres, styles and traditions relevant
to Fine Art and the chosen areas of study within this specialism. They must demonstrate how ideas, feelings
and meanings can be conveyed and interpreted in images and artefacts and how images and artefacts relate
to the time and place in which they were made and to their social and cultural context.
