A-level Art gives students an unrivalled opportunity to work creatively, with a high degree of independence and plenty of free choice over the direction of their studies. The ability to select one’s own chosen subject matter and develop projects in a completely bespoke way is immensely rewarding. Art remains a popular option, and for many students is the most important step towards considering areas such as Architecture, Design, Advertising, Fashion, Illustration and of course Fine Art-related subjects at university level. Equally, a great many students take Art A-level at MCS primarily to offer contrast to their other subject choices.
Our offers of places into Year 12 are conditional upon a candidate achieving a minimum of six 8s or 9s at GCSE, including Grades 8 or 9 in the subjects proposed for study at A Level.
In effect, coursework begins from halfway through the L6th year and continues up until Christmas in the U6th. End-of-year Mock Examinations in this subject will be a combination of timed exam days to produce preparatory work, and opportunities to submit coursework-in-progress for formal assessment. The examination unit is also effectively ‘coursework’, given that it runs from January until study leave in Trinity term. Both Component One and Component Two assess an extended body of preparatory work alongside the accompanying final pieces (similar to how GCSE Art operates).
