6th FORM COURSES
Tom Brown was Head of Art at Fenton 6th Form College and has
taught A level Art & Design successfully for over thirty years.
For many of those years the student’s exam grades were in the
top 5% in the UK and no student under his instruction has ever
failed. A high percentage of Ofsted inspections graded his
lessons as ‘Excellent”
At White Fountain Studio we are offering a field course for
groups of A level Art & Design students aimed at enhancing their
existing A level studies and hopefully improving grades.
The actual content of the course, the number of days and the
time of year depends on your requirements but below are some
suggestions that may help.
CONTENT
We can deliver a special course designed to be the basis of an
AS or A2 module. The project has the advantage of research in a
totally new and stimulating environment here in Spain. We would
also like to work on developing the ideas and making a plan
which enables the student to complete the full module on their
return to the UK.
Depending on the students the course can be as structured or as
open ended as requested by art staff. The subject matter will
not necessarily be based on Spanish themes but rather rely on
the new environment to provide the stimulus, we are looking for
a much more open and varied response.
We can deliver courses which focus in particular subject areas
eg. life drawing, working towards abstraction or landscape…….
We are happy to work in conjunction with art staff on developing
a project which has been generated at the college or school.
We are sensitive to individual student’s ways of working from
traditional to conceptual, from conventional to experimental.
NUMBER OF DAYS
This is a great opportunity to focus on artwork in a supportive
atmosphere therefore the more days the better. Five working days
is a good balance but we can work as required.
We understand the restrictions on A level students with regard
to time away from other subjects so we are happy to be flexible
with timing by trying to work over a weekend or tagged on to a
holiday period if necessary.
TIME OF YEAR
We are open to any suggestions but we experience the best
weather between May and September.
We are fully aware of the demands on time at crucial times of
year by examinations and indeed the timing of the start of
modules. June/July has the advantage of being relatively free of
other commitments and a good time to start the next project.
For students with heavy commitments in other subject areas this
is an ideal opportunity. Towards the end of the AS year
(June/July) an art field course could provide research and
development work for the first A2 module which could then be
completed independently during the summer vacation.
Whatever time of year you would like, it is necessary to check
availability first.
