Studying Fine Art at A level is increasingly important if you are considering any design-based career. Everything we eat, wear, drive, live in, work in, play with or use in any practical way will have been designed and marketed by someone who has learnt to present ideas in a visual way. This A Level is designed to develop your creative thinking and problem solving. Moving forward from where the GCSE course finished, you will have the time and the freedom to explore and develop a more indepth personal response to your art, giving you the opportunity to really engage with your chosen subject matter and build up a substantial portfolio of work.
A minimum of a Grade 5 in GCSE Art, but ideally will have achieved a Grade 6 or higher. Grade 5 English Language
Component 1 (Year 12) You will produce an extended collection of work that exemplifies aspects of your developing knowledge, skills and understanding. It should provide evidence of research, the development of ideas, making skills and critical/contextual understanding. It should also demonstrate your ability to sustain work from an initial starting point to a realisation. Component 1 (Year 13) You will develop work based on an idea, issue, concept or theme leading to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. Practical elements should make connections with some aspect of contemporary or past practice of artist(s), designer(s), photographers or craftspeople and to include an essay of no less than 1000 and no more than 3000 words which supports the practical work. Component 2 You will respond to a stimulus, provided by AQA, to produce work which provides evidence of your ability to work independently within specified time constraints, developing a personal and meaningful response which addresses all the assessment objectives and leads to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes. How will the course be assessed? Portfolio - 60% of A-level Externally set exam - Preparatory period + 15 hours supervised time - 40% of A-level.
