Course summary

Creativity is at the heart of the A-Level and you will be using painting, printing, and three-dimensional techniques and materials to realise your ideas. You will conduct research and relate your work to that of others. This helps you to understand the importance of all forms of art and the part they play in society. We will think about art from a broad range of starting points to make you more aware and engaged in the wider world. The galleries, museums, and other facilities in London are an invaluable resource in developing this understanding. Several visits will be included in the course.

Entry requirements

● five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above; ● at least a Grade 5 in GCSE English Language and GCSE Maths; ● at least a Grade 6 in the subject you wish to study.

How you'll be assessed

There are five assessment objectives at A-Level which are equally weighted and form the basis of the course. Assessment Objectives • To develop ideas informed by gallery visits, books, the internet, and other primary sources, demonstrating an analytical and critical understanding; • To experiment with and select appropriate media, materials, techniques, and processes, reviewing and refining your ideas; • To write your observations and insights relevant to your intentions, demonstrating an ability to reflect on progress; • To present a personal and informed final response, in the form of an art piece that shows strong connections to your research and experimentation; • Personal study. Work for all the assessment objectives is completed in a journal and on related sheets. These demonstrate the progression of your ideas and themes as well as your skills in handling materials and developing your visual language. This results in the production of beautiful and inspiring collections of work, which document all your investigations and become personal bodies of work that you can treasure for life.
