SIXTH FORM GALLERY

ASSISTANT HEAD AT BOHUNT SIXTH FORM AND BET VISUAL ARTS CO-ORDINATOR, GARY LEESON, SPLITS HIS TIME EQUALLY BETWEEN TPS AND BOHUNT SIXTH FORM. HE EXPLAINS WHAT ART AT A LEVEL MEANS FOR STUDENTS, AND SHOWCASES JUST SOME OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE THIS YEAR.

Studying Art at A Level should be a time of creative enlightenment, a time for students to really discover their potential, but also how to express their own interpretation of the world around them at a higher, more sophisticated level.

Our course at the Sixth Form guides pupils to develop more refined skills, using a much wider repertoire of techniques. Practical workshops help students to enhance their visual language whilst independent studies with regular tutorial guidance help them to explore mature concepts and how to convey their message in an impactful way.

• Life drawing workshops are a key element in developing students’ observational skills to a higher level. The skills are transferable, benefiting art practice throughout the course.

• Independent student led conceptual projects are diverse and far reaching, often resulting in exciting, varied outcomes.

• Ambitious personal responses showing strong evidence of practical skills developing from creative workshops.
