Art & Design
Course summary
Art and Design Art and Design A-Level is a challenging and exciting opportunity for those students keen on furthering their GCSE skills. Students will start the year by engaging in some “Induction to A Level” workshops before they embark on an exciting theme based enquiry. In Year 12 students will be given a set theme which is designed to give them scope to engage creatively, while also developing their skills in analysis and understanding. The Year 12 course allows students to explore a range of ideas, techniques and processes in a more experimental way than they will have experienced at GCSE. Students are encouraged to attend Life Drawing as part of their A Level course, and will be given the opportunity to attend in-house extra-curricular Life Drawing sessions. In the Upper Sixth, students continue with one chosen line of enquiry from the previous portfolio of work, and this will form a large part of their Personal Investigation. The Personal Investigation will include an essay of approximately 3000 words. All students will be expected to visit galleries on a regular basis, work independently on their investigations inside and outside of the classroom, and keep a well-documented sketchbook for each unit of work.
