The Art and Design A Level is assessed through a coursework component worth 60% of your mark, and an exam worth 40%. The course begins with a theme, and you will build a body of work in your sketchbook based around a theme for the first eight weeks of the course. Then you will move your project into a more self-guided area of study as well as continuing to build a larger body of work and research. For the second part of the course, the exam board releases an exam paper in February which consists of five or six different project themes. You will choose one of them and build another body of work in a sketchbook with research and development work resulting in a final outcome, which you will make under exam conditions in May.
