Art, Craft & Design A Level means you can must work in 2 or more ‘pathways’ from the following areas ‘Fine Art’, ‘Graphics’, ‘Textiles’, ‘3D’ and ‘Photography’. In A-Level Art, Craft & Design, here at TAHS, students will use a variety of techniques and media and explore different artists/craftspeople/designers' work whilst creatively developing their work in 2D and 3D.

This course is a good combination with A-Level Photography, for students pursuing careers in the visual creative arts.

Both subjects have foundation induction stages lasting approximately until February in Y12, After which students will devise their own personal investigations to develop through the remainder of Y12 and Y13 leading up to the final deadline in late January of their final Y13 year. Students will develop an extensive repertoire of skills throughout their A Levels which will strengthen their creative practice alongside contributing towards their final grade. A wide range of topics are covered in the induction work following themes that will guarantee quality outcomes and a strong portfolio full of diverse work.
