Art is a popular subject that is offered at many secondary schools and colleges in the UK and Ireland as part of the General Certificate of Secondary Education or A-Levels. Students who take art as an A-Level subject produce and study a variety of artworks and develop their skills in areas like drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and other media. Those who pass A-Level art exams demonstrate their abilities and can use their qualification to pursue further education in art or careers that value visual creativity and technical art skills.
