A level Fine Art 2024
You have a choice of twelve titles for the A level Fine Art exam project (Unit 2). You will have a period of 8-10 weeks (plus the Spring half term and Easter holiday) to develop your ideas through preparatory studies before realising your final outcome as part of the 15 hour, controlled assessment. You should aim to be ambitious in your final outcome and presentation.
The exam paper is full of ideas to help you get started. Your art teachers will also set class and home work tasks that will enable you to have the best start possible for your exam project. Make sure everything is documented clearly in your sketchbook.

Eduqas LOVE an exhibition visit. Make sure that you see at least one photographer's work in the flesh during the project.
Use the usual analysis framework if you really do not know how to write about the artwork you see. Also consider how the exhibition has been curated.
