A-Level Art is a practical course with written content which allows students who have interest and aptitude in the subject to further their studies through the disciplines of painting and drawing, printmaking, sculpture, textiles and lens-based image making. Art requires engagement with aesthetic and intellectual concepts through the use of traditional and/or digital media, materials, techniques and processes for the purpose of self-expression, free of external constraints. Art may be created to communicate ideas and messages about the observed world, the qualities of materials, perceptions, or preconceptions. It can also be used to explore personal and cultural identity, society and how we live, visual language, and technology. Art allows us to consider and reflect on our place in the world, both as individuals and collectively.
It is expected that students will have achieved at least a Grade 6 in Art at GCSE.
By continual assessment and a controlled assessment within school. All units are assessed and Graded internally by the school and a visiting moderator from the exam board. The coursework units comprise 60% of the overall mark and the externally set piece 40% for A-Level.
