A Level Art is split into 4 Units over the two years. Our aim is that students gain a broad range of skills and are exposed to a wide range of artists’ work and practices enabling them to become independent self-motivated learners capable of making in-depth and imaginative art work. Drawing is an essential part of the course and an ability to record from direct observation is very important. Students will be encouraged to use a variety of media and materials and express their individual thoughts, emotions, ideas and observations in visual form.

Year 12 Unit 1 Students develop a body of work that focuses on developing a wide range of techniques that feed into students’ independent work. Unit 2 Unit 2 is set by the examining body and it involves a 10 hour supervised exam where the students develop a final piece of work. Year 13 Unit 1 Students develop their own response to a project title, such as “Distortion”. They should continue to refine and experiment in their artistic practice and show their technical and critical understanding in an extended essay. (60% of the final A Level mark). Unit 2 Unit 2 is set by the examining body and it involves a 15 hour supervised task that shows how the students develop their own ideas for a final piece of work. (40% of final A Level mark).
