Art and Design

Course summary

The course is designed around theme based projects that are chosen and independently explored by our pupils. Students receive their own space in the A Level studio and receive a combination of teaching in group activities or personal 121 mentoring sessions. The final grade is composed of 60% course work and 40% exam. The Art and Design and Photography courses meet the assessment objectives by evidencing analysis of contemporary and/or traditional art, development and experimentation with independent ideas and usually flow through to a large scale final outcome. There is a written component in which pupils must debate a question and explain their art work linking with their contextual studies.
