A distinct emphasis is placed on the exploration of ideas, materials and visual sources in this Art course. The development of your individual responses to your own first hand experience start during the first part of year one; you will be encouraged to explore the creative potential of different media. The aim of this experimental phase is to encourage you to acquire and develop skills, awareness and concepts. Drawing from observation as a means of investigation and research is an essential aspect of the course and all students will be expected to develop their experience and confidence in this area. You will also be encouraged to make connections with the work of other artists and the wider worldwide context of art. Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to study selected aspects of art through lectures and visits.
5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including Maths and English. It is possible to combine Art (Fine Art) with either Textiles, Photography, Three Dimensional Design or Graphics. However, this needs to be considered very carefully as the deadline days for each of these subjects are the same. Therefore, students who combine arts subjects need to be very well organised.
Year 1: You will receive continual assessment on your progress and one to one tutorials. Your final assessment for your A level is as follows: • Component 1: Coursework Portfolio During the first part of the course you will have the opportunity to experience drawing, painting, printmaking and photography. This phase provides the basis for one extensive practical project. Alongside this work you will be expected to build up evidence of your critical awareness of the wider context of art within culture to complement and inform your practical work. • Component 2: Mock Exam Assignment Towards the end of the first year you will complete a Mock Exam Assignment. This involves a preparation period of approximately ten weeks plus 10 hours unaided supervised time. Year 2: If you choose to continue into the second year to complete the A Level course there are two assessments: • Component 1: Personal investigation This involves one, extended, in-depth coursework project using skills acquired during the first year. It also includes a written log of your progress between 1000 – 3000 words. • Component 2: Externally-Set Assignment Your response to externally set questions. This involves a preparation period of approximately fifteen weeks plus 15 hours of unaided supervised time.
