Successful A-Level Art students can go on to study a range of Art & Design foundation and degree courses, nationally and internationally, before going on to become an Artist, Designer, Architect, or Arts Professional in a broad variety of specialist areas. The creative and cultural Arts industries express and reflect on the importance of creativity and culture in our society. All around us artists create the world we inhabit and contribute to a thriving and important industry which has a vast range of exciting career options and choices. • Fine Art • Fashion Design • Graphic Design • Architecture • Photography A Level Art allows you to develop an exciting and extensive range of creative and technical skills. Unique to studying Art at A Level, you build up a very personal and continually evolving body of practical work, guided and supported by your teachers. Individual exploration and development of your personal skills and creative directions is a special aspect of this subject
General minimum entry requirement: Five GCSE passes at grade 6 or above with a grade 7 preferred in subjects to be studied at A level, and required in certain cases.
A Level Art prepares you to produce two major pieces of assessed work. The first is a Personal Investigation, which allows you to devise and put together a personal body of creative coursework, including extensive practical work, a 3,000-word illustrated essay and a fully developed and resolved Final Piece Project. You do this without time limits, during the course. The second practical component is a themed set task known as the Timed Test. Previous themes include Circles and Curves; Backstage – The Theatre; Architectural Façades. This is given on the 1st of February in Upper VI. Students have three months to work extensively on their chosen theme, and then sit a timed test over three days for a total of 15 hours to create and complete a personal, creative Final Piece.
