Art and Design (Fine Art)

Assessment

60% of the assessment is based on coursework and 40% is on the final examination. The final exam starts in January of Year 13 and is an externally set theme, with a 15 hour final practical test in May. Coursework consists of preparatory studies in the form of sketchbooks or design sheets, plus supporting artworks and refined, developed outcomes. The course is taught across four assessment objectives (equal In weighting) that measure success against research, development, experimentation and investigation, refinement and making. All units are internally marked and externally moderated.
