Art and Design (Fine Art)

Assessment

Component 1 – (60%) Personal Investigation. Students will visit London galleries and choose artists to inspire the direction of their ideas. This personal journey will conclude in a final presentation of work until February half term of Year 13. This component also requires students to produce a 1000-3000 word essay to summarise their investigation. Component 2 – (40%) Externally Set Task. The examination component requires students to produce a unit of work responding to a question set by the exam board AQA. Students will receive an exam paper with a choice of questions. On making their choice, students will investigate a range of ideas as part of their assessed prep work which concludes in a final piece completed during a 15 hour controlled assessment.
