Three-dimensional design is about looking, learning, thinking and communicating ideas. It inspires creative thinkers, problem solvers and people who enjoy making. Three-dimensional design is the ideal opportunity to explore ideas and develop skills and is a great first step for those who wish to follow a course in art and design at university. However its balance of practical, academic and analytical skills are widely transferable and students intending to study courses unrelated to art and design find that it complements their other subject choices. A course in three-dimensional design will enable you to select appropriate materials and learn how they fit together, develop an understanding of scale and experiment with texture and surface finish.
To be accepted onto the A Level course you should have at least 5 GCSEs at grades 9 - 4 (or equivalent) Strong design and making skills are very advantageous, as is a keenness and commitment to learn. The emphasis of this course will be on the design process and the development of skills using an appropriate range of materials, processes and techniques . Most students would be ordinarily expected to have a GCSE of at least a grade 4 in Design Technology, Mathematics and English Language.
At A-level for component 1 you will develop work for a personal investigation into an idea, issue, concept or theme supported by written material. This will count for 60% of your total A-level marks. In component 2 you will produce personal work in response to one of eight exciting starting points which will count for 40% of your total A-level marks.
