Art, craft and design Students must be introduced to a variety of experiences that explore a range of two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional media, processes and techniques. They should be made aware of both traditional and new media. Students should explore the use of drawing for different purposes, using a variety of methods and media on a variety of scales. Students may use sketchbooks/workbooks/journals to underpin their work where appropriate. Students should explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to a range of art, craft and design, from the past and from recent times, including European and non-European examples. This should be integral to the investigating and making processes. Students' responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities that demonstrate their understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. Students should be aware of the four assessment objectives to be demonstrated in the context of the content and skills presented. They should be aware of the importance of process as well as product. Areas of study Within each component, students must demonstrate evidence that they have explored critical and contextual work through a range of two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional processes and media. Component 1: must show evidence of working in areas of study drawn from two or more of the endorsed titles listed below. Component 2: must show evidence of areas of study drawn from one or more of the endorsed titles listed below. The area(s) of study selected for Component 1 can be the same as, or different to, those selected for Component 2.

Synoptic assessment in Art and Design involves students in: • drawing together the knowledge, understanding and skills learned in different parts of the course • selecting and presenting work which demonstrates their strengths across the areas of knowledge and the range of skills described and shows their ability to sustain their own lines of enquiry • bringing together and making connections between the areas of knowledge, the work of artist(s), designer(s), photographers or craftspeople and the range of skills described and learned throughout the course and applying this by responding to one or more of: o a stimulus or issue o a design brief or problem o a task which specifies an image, object or other outcome to be achieved. There is synoptic assessment in both components of the A-level that provide stretch and challenge opportunities for students as follows: In Component 1, students develop work based on an idea, issue, concept or theme leading to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. Practical elements should make connections with some aspect of contemporary or past practice of artist(s), designer(s), photographers or craftspeople and include written work of no less than 1000 and no more than 3000 words which supports the practical work. In Component 2, students respond to a stimulus, provided by AQA, to produce work which provides evidence of their ability to work independently within specified time constraints, developing a personal and meaningful response which addresses all the assessment objectives and leads to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes.
