Art A level

if you chose art for a level, what other subjects did you choose along with it?

It really depends on what you what you want to do with it.

Good subjects that compliment Art are History, English Lit / Lang, Philosophy and Sociology!

No worries! I think history will compliment Art as they are linked in various concepts as im sure you know, and English Lit Lang and philosophy are usually favoured by the good uni's! X

Awh , that’s annoying. I was going to say it would really compliment it. I agree with the top person, History is good, maths for architecture and etc !

Just make sure you pick something you like, they don’t necessarily need to match up. I know someone who does Art and two sciences. :smile:
agreed !

Things like history and English language would go well with it
I dropped it after a few months, but I did it alongside English Lit, Classics and History! A lot of people seem to do it with DT, or LitLang but I don't think it really matters if you want to go straight into art. My cousin went on to do HoA and she did Art, HoA and English
Hi i didnt do Art A Level but my friend did it and she chose History and Sociology with it :smile:
