Art and Design
at The Broxbourne School, Broxbourne · school or sixth form
What the college says
This course takes an adventurous and an enquiring approach to art and design. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of past and contemporary art and design practice and be able to produce artwork that embraces a range of ideas. The course is structured on two units for the full A-level certificate. The first term of Year 12 will act as a period to develop skill base and be challenged with media and briefs that may fall outside of the students comfort zone, ultimately encouraging progress, confidence and higher level thinking. The final two terms of Year 12 see students begin their personal investigations (Component 1). This supports students in developing their individual style and beneficially provides a slightly longer time period to decide on a personal focus. Sketchbook, mount boards and final pieces are completed over the year that will be submitted for the A-Level coursework unit.
