Are you interested in textiles and fashion? If so, this course would provide you with the opportunity to produce high quality and original practical work as well as develop your knowledge of this exciting field within art and design. This is a rewarding course for students who have demonstrated a proven enthusiasm for art and design and a desire to develop this through creative textiles. If you are a determined and ambitious student, studying at this level could lead to a wide range of careers within the visual arts.
You will be assessed on the practical work produced throughout the two year course. This will be supported by written annotation and research into other artists and designers and students will also be required to produce an extended essay as part of component one in year 13. During year 12, students will concentrate on acquiring and refining practical skills and learn how to use these alongside their artist research in the development and refinement of creative ideas. Component one – Personal Investigation: In year 13, you will develop work for a personal investigation into an idea, concept or theme, supported by written material; this will count for 60% of your total A Level marks. Component two – Externally Set Assignment: You will be asked to produce personal work in response to one of eight exciting starting points, which will count for 40% of your total A Level mark.
