Sketchbooks are an integral part of their coursework and students will be expected to record, research and develop ideas in visual and written form. A LEVEL SUMMARY - This is a two-year course. - In the first year; students will be expected to work through a thematic project and produce a sketchbook. Students will not sit an exam. - In the second year; students will continue their own personal response and produce a final piece of work. They will also be expected to write an essay on their chosen theme. - In February students will be given an exam paper and they will then begin their preparatory work.
