These are broad-based courses that provides flexibility in content and approach. Students can choose this option if they want to explore and create work associated within creative environments. Students opting for Art, Craft & Design explore practical and critical/contextual work through a range of 2D and/or 3D processes and media throughout the earlier stages of their Personal Creative Enquiry and Personal Investigation. The final resolution of their exploratory work can either be selected from 2D and/or 3D processes and media (combining disciplines from more than one endorsed title) or comprise processes and media associated with a single endorsed title. A level Art, Craft & Design offers students further opportunities to explore the creative and analytical skills explored during GCSE Art & Design and/or Textiles
A typical Sixth Form student will join Year 12 with a minimum of six GCSEs at Level 5 or above, including Mathematics and English, with Level 6 achieved in those subjects they propose to study at A Level. A GCSE pass in either Art, Photography or Textiles at grade 6 or above is usually required to be considered for Art, Craft or design A-level courses. However, the main requirements are a keen interest in creating ideas and making outcomes. The new linear A-level Art, Craft & Design course will include developing skills in painting and drawing, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, digital media, photography and mixed media work. The A-level Art, Craft & Design course teaches a range of skills and allows students to explore, refine and develop their abilities in the areas of the subject that most appeal to them.
