In LVI, students learn technical skills such as free stitch embroidery, screen printing and heat press processes, as well as working with dyes to create samples. We explore the possibility for three-dimensional work and differing scales, encouraging learning through creative play. Towards the middle of the year, students begin their personal projects on a theme of their choice. With guidance from teachers, this project becomes Component 1 and is worth 60% of the final grade. In UVI, students are given an individual wall space which provides the opportunity to show large-scale, threedimensional and mixed-media work in progress. In this final year, they continue to work on their personal projects and write an essay (1,000-3,000 words) to support their practical work. Component 2 is a project set by the exam board and is worth 40% of the final grade. Students work to develop a personal approach to a starting point, culminating in a 15-hour practical examination. During the course, all girls will have the opportunity to participate in life drawing sessions, a traditional and fundamental skill for all artists.
A GCSE Grade 6, or equivalent, in a creative subject is desirable. We are also keen to see girls’ interest in the subject, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
