Art and Design

Assessment

You will develop a range of projects over two years and will be assessed on everything you do. Just like at GCSE or BTEC your sketchbooks are extremely valuable and all the development and research work will be assessed alongside your final pieces. During the first year and the first term of the second year you will develop a personal portfolio of work which will be worth up to 60% of your final grade. You will then take an Externally Set Assignment that culminates in a 15hr period of sustained focus under examination conditions. The degree of independence will increase as you progress through the course.
