Students can work in painting and drawing, sculpture and ceramics, printmaking, digital and video art and mixed media. Students are required to submit a coursework portfolio containing a personal investigation and complete an examination project. Each student will include in their portfolio: • at least one extended collection of work or project, based on an idea, concept, theme or issue. This should demonstrate the student’s ability to sustain work from an initial starting point to realisation • evidence of their ability to research and develop ideas and link their work in a meaningful way to relevant critical/contextual materials. Portfolios may also include: • critical/contextual work, which could include written material such as journals, reviews, reflections and evaluations, annotations and historical background material • sketchbooks, workbooks, journals • where appropriate to the student’s area of study, test pieces, samples, storyboards, models or maquettes
GCSE Art at grade 5 or above. GCSE English Language grade 5 or above. If you wish to study the A-Level without sitting Art GCSE, this is permissible as long as you have achieved a grade 5 or above in another Arts-based subject.
Component 1 - The Coursework Portfolio and Personal Investigation is worth 60% of your overall grade. It is marked regularly throughout the course, to allow students to develop work to overcome any shortfall in their submission. Component 2 - an examination project worth 40% is taken in May of the second year.
