There is a huge difference between someone who studies Art and someone who does Art. To compare it to a different skill like gardening, you have RHS specialists and someone who enjoys gardening. Studying Art will provide a similar level of expertise. In addition, there are soft skills which are developed and honed, such as precision, accuracy and patience, which could support a budding scientist for example. As such it complements many subjects such as Chemistry, Physics and Biology. These days universities will accept Art as one of three A Levels. However, why stop at three? Art as one of four is very feasible if the pupil has the right approach. In the 21st century, employers are looking for the soft skills to accompany paper qualifications. Art has never been more relevant.
There are no previous requirements needed to study Art at A Level but it is very helpful if the pupil has some artistic ability and an open mind. Drawing was returned to its rightful place in the Assessment process from 2015. Curiosity and a willingness to read are also recommended for the higher grades at this level.
Component 1: • Personal Investigation 60% • Practical Work • Personal Study (3,000-word essay in continuous prose) on an Art Historical Subject of the pupil’s choice) Component 2: • Externally set assignment 40% • 15-hour controlled assessment
