Course summary

After nurturing their love of the subject at Stratford they go on to academic and professional careers. We want you to make our reputation even stronger by learning how to express yourself visually in a way that makes you unique and then exploring in-depth the project themes that will show off your artistic attributes. Year 12 Coursework Assignments: based on a range of themes and starting points, this year will help establish best working practices i.e. use of sketchbook, use of a range of media and techniques. You will also learn about different artists especially looking at Modern Art movements. Year 13 Coursework Project: based on a theme of your choice (This year many chose decay and degrading, disassociation, loss and change, which were expressed in art form from sculpture to portrait and installation using a range of materials and processes).

How you'll be assessed

Students receive their exam papers in February of Year 13. They then have until early May to prepare for the 15-hour exam, spread across three days. During the preparation period, students should visually evidence how/where they have researched their chosen subject matter, made references to other artists, and developed ideas by investigating a range of appropriate media and techniques. To support this process we take our A-Level students to London to visit galleries. This takes place in February.
