This is a broad-based course exploring practical, critical and contextual work through a range of 2D and/or 3D processes and media. Art, craft and design gives you the skills and knowledge to create personal and imaginative work. You can choose to focus on a specialist area of study from a variety of exciting processes and media to suit your individual interests and abilities. This can result in degree opportunities and careers ranging from painting portraits to producing exotic fashion costumes or designing futuristic architecture. If you have an adventurous, creative and enquiring mind and are excited by shaping and determining the visual world around us, there is a career opportunity waiting for you. In year 1, students will undertake a portfolio production project, introducing them to a wide range of artists and practices. This will give them a greater understanding of Art and Design contextualisation and develop their technical practice. Students will then undertake a personal sustained investigation, developing crucial skills for the successful completion of the course. This study will form part of component 1. In year 2, students will develop work for a second personal investigation into an idea, issue, concept or theme supported by written material. Component 1 will count for 60% of the total A-level marks. In component 2 students will produce personal work in response to one of eight exciting starting points which will count for 40% of your total A-level marks.
