Why Study Art & Design?
With the creative industries being one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the UK, there has never been a better time to study a creative subject. Fine art is thriving at King’s, with consistently good results and the A-level course we offer aims to stretch and challenge creative minds. It will develop not only practical skills in relation to drawing and painting, but also many transferable skills.
Pupils studying fine art at A-level learn to be self-disciplined, self-critical and confident in the way they approach their work. We have fantastic facilities spread over four floors and Sixth Form pupils have their own spaces to enable them to work independently throughout the week.

Fine Art at King's
A-level fine art combines well with most subjects and pupils often enjoy the balance of a hands-on, coursework-based approach alongside their other academic subjects. All our teachers are themselves practising artists.
Studio-based practice is contextualised with educational trips to galleries and museums and provides pupils with the opportunity to engage directly with art and design.
As well as visiting key galleries in the UK such as the Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery, we have an annual trip abroad to destinations such as Vienna, Paris or Barcelona. Every year we have pupils who move on to study art related courses at university. These include art foundation, interior design, architecture, photography, fashion and more.
