What is the breadth of fine art?Show answer
Fine art is usually concept-led: you start from an idea or theme and select the medium that expresses it, rather than deciding "I will paint" before you know what you want to say.
What are mapping to the objectives?Show answer
Fine art practice runs naturally across all four objectives: AO1 through research into relevant artists and ideas, AO2 through media experiments and technique trials, AO3 through observational drawing and studies, and AO4 through a resolved, personal outcome. A strong fine art project shows this full journey and may move between media as the idea demands.
What is q1?Show answer
For a fine art project on a subject of your choice, describe the range of processes you might use across drawing, painting and three-dimensional work, and explain how each contributes to the four assessment objectives. [14 marks]
What is q2?Show answer
Define impasto and glazing, and say what each contributes to a painting. [4 marks]
