This is a 2-year course (no AS exam) and combines both Practical Art and Written Art History. It requires students to respond to themes in painting, drawing and other visual media, as well as in writing. Students don’t have to be fine artists to get a good grade- good writing skills and a willingness to practise and experiment with visual art of all kinds work well. Students learn how to analyse works and put them in a social and historical context. The course aims to deepen students’ understanding of contextual studies and to develop ideas, experiment, and advance and apply skills, research, record, analyse, review, create and present outcomes in response to OCR’s four Assessment Objectives.
