Art and Design (Fine Art)

Assessment

In A-Level Art students follow a course similar to GCSE. Following a series of skills workshops, they produce an independent, self-directed coursework portfolio (Personal Investigation), supported by a related written study (1000-3000 words). The coursework portfolio is worth 60% of their final mark and they sit an externally set task at the end of their second year worth 40% of the overall mark. Both the coursework and the exam are marked using the same assessment objectives.
