There is a strong instinct in me to draw and describe the things I love a sort of instinct, like that of eating and drinking.’ (John Ruskin). Art and Design is a mode of expression and communication, concerned with visual perception and aesthetic experience. It forms a language alongside those used by literary, mathematical, or scientific subjects. Most of the work for this course is studio based: through practical and contextual studies you will develop practical and theoretical understanding of materials, processes, resources and technologies, and understanding of continuity and change in different genres, styles and traditions. The course nurtures creative and intellectual skills for imaginative growth and is an excellent complement to many other areas of study; teaching you to be analytical, solve problems creatively and grow in cultural awareness.
To be accepted onto the course you will need at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in Art 6 GCSEs at Grade 6 or higher, and at least a Grade 4 in English and Maths.
All student work will be assessed against Assessment Objectives which are equally weighted in this qualification. Assessment is based on Components 1 and 2 and minimum 1000 word Personal Study with a 15 hour end of course exam.
