1st-year course description: This course begins with an introduction designed to build on and develop students’ recording skills and demonstrate skilful use of the formal elements, including line, tone, colour, shape, pattern, texture, form and structure. In developing these skills, students will experiment with a wide range of media and methods, learning how to transform materials in order to reflect the different qualities of their observed forms and images. Unit 1 – Based on the internally set theme. Unit 2 – Internally set exam theme. 2nd-year course description: Unit 3 - Based on the theme of ‘Human Form or identity’ and includes a 1500-word essay. Unit 4 - Externally set theme by the Exam Board.
Students will need to have at least five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above including English Language and Mathematics at Level 4. To enable students to select the most appropriate subjects at A-Level we use a system based on their APS (average point score) from their GCSE results. We advise students to take the subjects which best fit their APS.
There is an external exam and coursework which will be externally assessed by the exam board, often in the form of an E-portfolio.
