Component 1: The course is introduced to students through an initial explorative project. Practical skills will be developed through experimentation with a range of mediums. Students are required to produce a collection of work based around the theme, showing understanding of project organisation, research and development. Students will also complete a personal investigation in their second year and are required to produce a practical investigation and a written study of 1000 – 3000 words linked to the project work. The project title is submitted by the student and an extended assignment of work will be developed, culminating in a creative conclusion. Component 2: Component 2 is the externally set assignment in which students respond to one of eight starting points set by the exam board. Work is undertaken between February and May to produce a collection of work, usually in a sketchbook and culminating in 15 hours of supervised time in which they are expected to fully realise their ideas.
A minimum of 8 GCSEs in grades 9-5, including English and Maths. Pupils should achieve grades 9-6 in subjects they have chosen for A Level, as well as related subjects.
