Art and Design GCE A Level 2 years
at Oxted School, Oxted · school or sixth form
What the college says
Art and Design A-level is linear and will run as a two year A-level. In Year 12 students will develop a range of skills through workshops and investigations of contextual sources. They complete a full project and final piece which will be assessed at the end of Year 12. They will then complete two units in A2 which be assessed for their final A-Level qualification on a 60/40 split, a personal investigation and a controlled assessment unit. If you are interested in exploring the visual and tactile qualities of 3D, as well as 2D art, then this is the course for you. You will be encouraged to explore the work of other artists and designers and to develop responses. Your work will take the form of annotated boards and/or sketch books as well as 3D samples. You will also have the opportunity to further your creative interest in 2D or 3D form, or specialise in a Textile approach if you wish. This course is perfect if you have a creative interest in design and are considering a design career, or if you have followed the GCSE Art & Design, Textiles, Fine Art, or even Photography. The course compromises of four units - 1 & 2 in AS, 1 & 2 in A2. The final qualification is assessed from 1 & 2 in A2 only.
