The Art & Design course offers you the chance to develop skills in drawing, painting, sculpture and printing. You will also research contemporary and past artists based on starting points involving political, personal and cultural questions. Trips may by arranged each year to enrich all units. The Art & Design course is challenging and demanding and uses a wide range of skills such as research, investigation and critical analysis.
The entry requirements for students taking 3 or 4 A levels are seven GCSE's at Grade 4-9, or equivalent, including English and Maths. While a Grade 6 at GCSE is preferable for studying a subject at A Level, we will consider students who achieve a Grade 5 in the subject, depending on circumstances. 4 = English 4 = Mathematics Grade 5 in GCSE Art will be considered, a Grade 6 is an advantage
Assessment at A Level will be a combination of coursework and externally set assignment. The coursework and externally set assignment involves both practical and written work. Students undertaking the A Level course will take two components. Component 1 will constitute 60%of the final grade. Component 2 is the externally set assignment which constitutes 40% of the final grade. The final exam time is 15 hours. All units are assessed and graded by your teachers, your work is then looked at by a visiting examiner who will verify the marks and an overall grade for the qualification is then awarded.
