A Level Art and Design is a fantastic opportunity for pupils to develop their personal responses to the world around us. Their ideas, observations, and experiences find expression in practical, critical and contextual forms. The course also allows pupils to develop an awareness of the importance of the consumers of Art and Design, as well as gain an understanding of the contribution of artists and designers to industry in this increasingly image-conscious age.
Minimum Recommended I/GCSE Grade 7 on the 9-1 scale (or 6 on the 9-1 scale with an impressive portfolio) A 9-7 grade in Art at GCSE is recommended. Strong drawing skills are an essential ingredient and act as a catalyst in helping pupils to communicate ideas and develop a visual awareness. An awareness and appreciation of History of Art and contemporary practice is integral to the course, as is a willingness to visit galleries and museums independently.
