In A level Art and Design: Fine Art students complete practical and critical/contextual work in a variety of the following media: painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, textiles and photography. The two-year course starts with a selection of projects that explore a variety of sources, media, techniques and processes. Students are then well informed about the direction their personal creative enquiry could take.
You should have at least 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or above and a grade 6 in art. This is a level 3 course, which demands a high level of literacy, thinking ability and organisational skills.
Component 1 The personal investigation consists of classwork and homework and is worth 60% of the marks. Students work on this during the later stages of year one and the majority of year two. Students develop work based on an idea, issue, concept or a series of related outcomes. It must be supported by written work of between 1,000 and 3,000 words. Component 2 This is an assignment that is set by the examination board and is worth 40% of the A level; students will get the question papers at the start of February in the second year. There will be a choice of eight questions to be used as a starting point. Students will work on their projects until the 15 hours of supervised time during which a final piece will be produced.
