By studying the A-level Linear course you will understand the circular nature of the design process from concept, research, experimentation, formulation and analysis of a brief through to the realisation of your finished piece. A CROYDON HIGH 3D DESIGN PUPIL SHOULD BE • Passionate about Design • A keen observer, recorder and gatherer: making quick designs, taking photographs, making notes and diary notes, noting thoughts and drawing diagrams • A risk taker! Experimenting, taking controlled risks, evaluating and trying again…and again… The study of Three-Dimensional Design at A level is looked upon favourably by admissions tutors for most university courses. For some girls, it may lead to a future career in the Art and Design fields including Graphics, Fashion, Theatre, Jewellery Design, Interior Design, Product Design, Photography, Architecture, Advertising or Illustration. In the last few years, we have had pupils go on to study Veterinary, Industrial Design, Engineering, Product Design, and Interior Design as well as postgraduate courses in Sustainable Design. In addition, many people working in Film, Television, Fashion Management, Engineering, Technology, Mathematics, Physics and Journalism were also pupils of three-dimensional design. Whatever your choice of future direction, Three-Dimensional Design will encourage you in your approaches to study and thinking not always available in other subjects at this level.
Passes in a minimum of six subjects at GCSE (Grade B or above or Grade 6 on the number grading scheme). There is a minimum requirement of 40 points accrued across the six highest GCSE grades to enter the Sixth Form at Croydon High. Three-Dimensional Design in the Sixth Form is a natural progression from GCSE Three-Dimensional Design; sixth formers embarking on the course have little trouble in the transition from GCSE if they achieve a good grade. The requirement to start the A-level Linear Three-Dimensional Design is a grade 7 or above in GCSE Three-Dimensional Design if taken, or portfolio approval by the Head of Art.
The EDEXCEL Linear A level course comprises two major projects; one is coursework worth 60% of the overall mark and one is set under a 15-hour practical examination worth 40% of the overall mark. Both projects will build upon each other, during each project sketchbook work, research and experimentation lead to a final piece or series of work. Coursework Project 1 & 2: 60% of the overall mark. As well as the practical work you will be expected to write a minimum of 1000 words of continuous prose integrating critical analysis and contextual research with your ideas and practical investigations. Externally set assignment: 40% of the overall mark includes eight weeks of preparatory study working towards a 15-hour practical examination. The Three-Dimensional Design course is primarily concerned with designing a product that meets a need functionally and aesthetically. The course allows for more creativity and a broader spectrum of outcomes which include furniture design, interior design, CAD CAM, architecture, scenic design, lighting and jewellery. Activities include visits to Design museums at the main London galleries as well as an option to go on study visits abroad to exciting places such as Florence, Venice and Rome. These visits enable candidates to relate their work to that of other artists and designers, both from the present and past. Additionally, ‘Master Class Workshops’ will fine-tune your skills and understanding to even higher levels.
