In Year 12 students will experiment with a range of materials and techniques , some which are new to them and some which they are familiar with allowing the further development of skills. The work produced in Year 12 will include: drawings in a variety of media and techniques, the use of a digital camera and computer software to manipulate images. Towards the end of Year 12 and the beginning of Year 13, students will produce work for their own theme (the personal investigation) and begin a portfolio collection of work produced in this time. The portfolio will include: initial drawings and photographs; critical and contextual material related to your theme; development of ideas; experiments with materials and techniques and producing a final outcome. Component 1: Personal Investigation This component is in two parts: (i) A practical project in which you are expected to develop a personal investigation based on a theme, idea, issue related to Art and Design which will result in a finished piece. (ii) A Personal Study of approximately 2000 words which is linked to and supports the chosen focus of study. In February, students will be given a choice of themes set by the exam board, from which they will choose just one. Students will need to demonstrate in-depth knowledge and a high level of technical skills and creativity when producing their personal and original outcome.
