Art and Design

Course summary

Students wishing to study Art and Design should be aware that the course requires a substantial amount of visual coursework as well as supporting written work. Students should also be prepared to research and analyse a large number artists and designers work which will necessitate a high degree of independent learning outside of lessons, including gallery and museum visits. The specification for A level Art and Design directly relates to and follows on from GCSE Art and Design, however students have greater flexibility, creative input and time in order to stretch their abilities. Across the course, students must cover a minimum of two disciplines within their work from fine art, textiles, photography, graphic design and 3D.
