This is a two-year course where you will produce two distinct projects. These are called component 1 and component 2. Component 1: Worth 60 % of your overall grade and takes the form of sketchbook work and outcomes. You will demonstrate your skills and understanding when recording the creative process and learning about materials, techniques and processes. This will develop into your own project where you will investigate a theme of your choice; this unit has to be accompanied by a 1000-3000 word essay. Component 2: Examination project worth 40% of the overall grade. This begins in February of year 13. During this project, you will choose from a list of themes, create sketchbook work and produce a project, which is completed with a 15-hour examination. WHY STUDY ART & DESIGN? Art and design enhances all facets of life. Whether it is your appearance, presentation of work or using computer software, art is all around us in many different areas. The subject alone is enjoyable and rewarding as you are constantly creating things that never existed before. It enhances many other A-levels and allows you to follow a hands-on approach to learning
Grade 4 GCSE in Art, Photography or Textiles If you have not studied a creative subject at GCSE a portfolio of evidence may be considered to ensure you have the basic level of skill required for this course.
The component 1 assessment takes place continuously and all work can still be amended and improved before May of the second year. In February of year 13, students are given an exam paper where they create a project based on a theme. They then create their own outcome during the 15 hours.
