5 or more GCSEs graded 4/5 or above including English Language, and ideally, Maths.
Assessment in the Art, Craft & Design A Level course revolves around four objectives that evaluate your ability to develop ideas in response to contextual references, explore a variety of media, record observations, and produce final outcomes and evaluations. The assessment is a combination of coursework, which accounts for 60%, and an externally set assignment, which accounts for 40% of your final grade. The portfolio component of the course allows you to embark on a practical investigation, conducting in-depth research and establishing coherent and sustainable links between your emerging art and design practice and historical and contemporary references. Collaborating with your teacher, you will negotiate a theme that holds personal relevance to you, showcasing your creativity and analytical skills. This component aims to develop your ability to investigate and research art and design, enabling you to respond creatively to your findings while effectively resolving artistic challenges. The externally set assignment represents the culmination of your A-Level course. You will be given a preparatory period to develop ideas in response to a chosen question, followed by a 15-hour timed period to produce your own artwork, encapsulating the skills and techniques you have acquired throughout the program.
