This course enables you to develop your independence and creativity to the very highest level. You start with a free choice project based on a list of possible starting points and you produce visual evidence using a broad, diverse and rich variety of artistic processes including drawing, painting, photography, digital, clay and installation art. You benefit from the guidance of two teachers who are very experienced at this level and give challenging exercises and individual support. This project is continuously assessed to give you a clear indication of your standard and potential. Projects are to develop skills and understanding beyond GCSE level. Students then progress onto a ‘Personal Investigation’ Project which is initiated with a research trip to London, followed by creative workshops. You then create your own project that evolves from your research. Again, continuous assessment will ensure that you are fully informed of your progress at all times, which enables reviewing and refining to occur to ensure that you are performing as highly as possible. The External Assignment Project begins on February 1st and is completed just before study leave after Easter.
Grade 5 or above in GCSE Art.
The work you produce is assessed continuously using the exam board marking criteria so you know where you are and what you need to do to improve or maintain your standard. You can quickly improve your art and have it re-marked. The work will also provide evidence for the four assessment objectives.
