A Level Art & Design

Assessment

The coursework and exam projects are assessed holistically against the exam board’s 4 assessment objectives (develop, refine, record and realise). The final assessment of all work is made in June of Year 13 (year 2) Previous Years’ Moderator’s comments: “[Work was] in many cases highly ambitious in concept and scale. Imaginative, exciting and original outcomes included complex sculptural structures and thoughtful fine art pieces.” “Some very creative and personal experimentation was evident in a wide range of media and processes including animation, sculpture, painting and drawing.” The normal entry requirement is a level 7 or above in GCSE Art. Some students who have not taken GCSE Art may be accepted on the basis of a strong portfolio of work.
