The subject content is divided into three areas. Visual Analysis, Themes and Periods Visual Analysis: The ability to analyse the formal characteristics of any work of art and architecture is a core skill. Pupils will develop visual literacy across painting, sculpture and architecture from within the European tradition of art, from Classical Greece (500 BCE) to the present. Themes: These are intended to be broad-based explorations of the developments in art and connections between movements and periods across time and place. Pupils must explore artists and works from both pre- and post-1850 and from both within and beyond the European tradition. Periods: The study of a historical period allows pupils the opportunity to research and explore in detail the key movements, concepts, artists, architects, contextual factors and related developments of art and architecture in a specific place/s and across a clearly defined time frame.
Candidates sit GL Assessments CAT4. In addition, pupils are expected to achieve 40 or more GCSE points. International pupils should have IELTS at 6.0 or equivalent. Most heads of department recommend at least a grade 7 at GCSE for subjects relevant to sixth form study.
