How parents/carers can support their child

Encourage your child to take an interest in art outside of the classroom; many newspapers now have culture and art sections which will provide a constant stream of new images that may also be used in research. It is important that your child has the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of artworks by visiting galleries and museums to develop their understanding of the subject. There are many documentaries and films shown both on television and online that would increase subject knowledge, particularly on BBC 4, More 4 and Sky Arts. In addition, your child will need access to art materials such as paints and brushes.

Additional Requirements

All materials will be provided for use in lessons but it is useful for pupils to have access to basic art equipment and materials at home to enable them to complete coursework. Art packs will be available to buy from the department at the start of the year.

Possible careers

GCSE Art provides pupils with the skills to be able to progress to studying Art or other creative subjects at A-Level or level 3 BTEC courses and then progress to a career in the Art and Design industries. The Art and Design industry is the fastest growing in the country and pupils could pursue careers such as Fashion Design, Interior Design, Game Design, Animation, Photography, Graphic design, Product Design and many more.
