Students wanting to take A-Level Art will be exploring ideas that are personal to them and looking to refine their skills and critical understanding of Fine Art creative processes, so that they can express their innermost questions and to state them in powerful visual Art pieces to the world. Fine Art enables all individuals to participate in the world and to co-create its values. In A-level Art students take their Fine Art exploration into a new level, exploring extensively with different media and sources that allows them to broaden up possibilities to build their personal visual language in exciting and insightful ways. The first year will focus on encouraging students to approach new media and refinement of mark making skills, and to reflect on building a unique personal language and path of thematic exploration. This will include experimental ceramics, textiles, and printmaking. Towards the end of the first year, students will start focusing on their personal investigation, and deepening their contextualization studies. This includes a written essay on their theme of choice where students state their starting points and threads of investigation, referring to artistic contextualization, and personal approaches, and reflecting on the main aspects that lead to the buildup of the visual language of their artworks.
There are GCSE grade requirements for some options. Students taking A-levels will need to have achieved certain grades and skills to enable them to succeed in these courses. In English, Mathematics and Science it is GCSE Grade 7. Other subjects also have grade criteria that should be checked with teachers.
In February, an Externally Set exam paper is issued, students work with the same criteria as their Personal Investigation and in the Summer Term, they sit a 15-hour Controlled Test over one week, which is supervised under exam conditions. • Component 1 – Personal Investigation and Related study equates to 60% of the A-level. • Component 2 – Externally set task equates to 40% of the A-level. The AS is run in accordance with the first years' program, however, an externally set exam paper is issued and replaces the mock/project period, equating to 100% of the marks. Internal assessment is carried out by the Teacher which is then moderated by the Examination Board.
