A Level Fine Art

Assessment

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. 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.
