Art and Design (Fine Art)

Assessment

We work within the OCR Fine Art specification and pupils can choose whether to frame any approach from painting, printmaking and sculpture through to fashion or animation through a Fine Art lens. Component 1: Personal Investigation (60% of total A Level marks). The Personal investigation is a substantial portfolio and related personal study (1000-2500 words) which spans a full year. The topics for this project are varied to allow individual choice. Component 2: The externally set task (40% of total A Level marks) is a six-week project focused on an exam board set of topics which are released in February of upper sixth. The final piece is created over the course of a 15 hour resolution of the project. This is sat across three days.
