Why should I choose this subject? • I enjoy art and practical activity. • I want to get involved in projects where I will be given ‘live’ briefs that will prepare me for the world of work. What will I study? You will develop a wide understanding of art and design related skills and knowledge over the two year course and will be expected to work more independently by carrying out self-directed independent study in the following areas. • Experimentation with a wide range of drawing, painting, print, crafts, 2D/3D, graphics, new media and fashion/ textiles techniques. • Working with artists and designers. • Interpreting a brief to produce a personal response. • Presentation skills.
You have a choice of 2 courses, each course taking 2 years to complete. • National Extended Certificate in Art & Design (equivalent to 1 x A Level). • National Diploma in Art & Design (equivalent to 2 x A Levels). To apply for the Foundation Diploma you should have achieved a minimum of a 4 grade at GCSE Art. To apply for the Diploma you should have also achieved at least a 5 at GCSE Art.
The Diploma is equivalent in size to 2 A Levels on successful completion of 8 varied units (3 externally and 5 internally assessed) and the National Extended Certificate is equivalent in size to 1 A Level on successful completion of 4 units (2 externally and 2 internally assessed), which are mapped against a number of exciting projects/ commissions. The externally assessed units are set and completed during an extended or a defined window before being assessed by the examination board (usually December to June in Year 13). All work must be submitted to meet strict deadlines. Assessments will take place upon the completion of each project. At the end of the course, grades for each course are added together to calculate a cumulative grade.
