Art and Design (Textiles)

Assessment

There are five assessment objectives at A-Level which are equally weighted and form the basis of the course. Assessment Objectives • To develop ideas informed by gallery visits, books, the internet, and other primary sources, demonstrating an analytical and critical understanding; • To experiment with and select appropriate media, materials, techniques, and processes, reviewing and refining your ideas; • To write your observations and insights relevant to your intentions, demonstrating an ability to reflect on progress; • To present a personal and informed final response, in the form of an art piece that shows strong connections to your research and experimentation; • Personal study. Work for all the assessment objectives is completed in a journal and on related sheets. These demonstrate the progression of your ideas and themes as well as your skills in handling materials and developing your visual language. This results in the production of beautiful and inspiring collections of work, which document all your investigations and become personal bodies of work that you can treasure for life.
