The A Level in Art and Design provides students with the opportunity to develop personal responses to ideas, observations, experiences, environments and cultures in practical, critical and contextual forms. The flexibility of the course allows students to work from their strengths in order to produce an extended collection of work based on an idea, concept, theme or issue which demonstrates the students’ ability to sustain work from an initial starting point. Students will produce practical and critical/contextual work in one or more area including painting, drawing, mixed-media, sculpture, land art, installation, printmaking, film, animation, television, video and photography: lens-based and/or light-based media.
Students must have undertaken GCSE Art and Design and achieved a level 4 or above.
2 years A Level: Year 12 work is mainly skills development in preparation for year 13. • Personal Investigation, supported by a 1000-3000-word essay – 60% • Externally set assignment project, with 15-hour exam – 40%
