Art and Design (Fine Art)

Assessment

This course is examined by Edexcel, it is split into 3 components across the 2-year duration of the course. In year 12 you will focus on creating a personal portfolio. This will consist of 3 projects; we create 2 in the first year alongside a personal study into an artist of your choice to better begin the Art History Path. This year ends with a progression grade based on your portfolio, personal study and development skills. In Year 13 you will complete your 3rd project for your portfolio, alongside this we will work on another personal study to develop the skills needed for in-depth art research. At the end of the year, there is an externally set Practical exam based on topics that change every year. Edexcel allows us to develop our own work as a continuous path. We choose our themes for your portfolio from a list of interesting topics and develop your skills from these to create a timeline of your time here in both physical and digital portfolios.
