Course summary

Whether you are looking for a career directly linked to the creative industry or appreciate and enjoy the arts and recognise the role it plays in all workplaces, then the Art & Design A-Level is for you. Projects follow a similar structure as in year 11, with a period of contextual study and media practice, concluding in students creating and managing their own personalised response. This structure enables you to develop and express your own creative journey, allowing you to personalise and connect with Art and Design. Year 12: Component 1: Your project is based on the theme of Human Boundaries. Year 13: Component 1: Personal Investigation: Produce a comprehensive body of work based on a theme or artist of your own choice which is supported by a written study of 1000 words. Component 2: Project based on an externally set theme where students have a set period to produce a body of work and this will conclude with creating a personalised final outcome within a 15-hour timed exam.
