Art and Design (Fine Art)

Assessment

FIRST YEAR: AS Art and Design (Fine Art) consists of a 100% coursework-based teacher-led component: the Personal Creative Enquiry. You are introduced to a wide range of traditional and experimental techniques and processes. You then select suitable disciplines to further develop and ultimately produce an original final piece. SECOND YEAR: A Level consists of two student-led components: Personal Investigation (60%) – you decide on a theme, develop your ability to critique your own work, and produce a final piece. You also complete a 1,500-3,000 word illustrated essay about an artist or art movement of your choice. Externally Set Assignment (40%) – you produce a final piece during exam conditions (15 hours spread over roughly three weeks).
