This exciting course is designed to introduce students to a variety of experiences that explore a range of fine art media, processes and techniques and allow them to develop as individual artists. Students explore the use of drawing for different purposes, using a variety of methods and move on to work in a wide range of approaches, meaning each project becomes unique. Work may use sketchbooks and journals to underpin development or can be presented on a series of display boards for the final assessment. Students’ work can go in a wide range of directions and become personal and individually driven. All work is tailored towards meeting the four assessment objectives. These focus on drawing / recording from observation, developing ideas using written research, exploring and refining a use of materials and finishing projects by creating final pieces that realise intentions 1. Component 1: Personal investigation This is a practical investigation supported by written material. Students are required to conduct a practical investigation into an idea, issue, concept or theme, supported by written material. The focus of the investigation must be identified independently by the student and must lead to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. The written material must be a coherent and logically structured extended response of between 1000 and 3000 words of continuous prose. 2. Component 2: Externally set assignment Each question paper will consist of a choice of eight questions to be used as starting points. Students will be provided with examination papers on 1 February, or as soon as possible after that date. Students should consider the starting points and select one. Preparatory work should be presented in any suitable format, such as mounted sheets, design sheets, sketchbooks, workbooks, journals, models and maquettes. A final outcome is produced in examination conditions allowing 15 hours of supervised time.
It is preferable but not essential that pupils have achieved grade 5 or above in any GCSE art subject.
The assessments will measure how students have achieved the following objectives: • Developing ideas through sustained and focused investigations • Exploring and selecting appropriate resources, media, materials and techniques • Recording ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions • Presenting a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions Component 1: Personal investigation. Weighting: 60% Component 2: Externally set assignment. Weighting: 40%
