A LEVELArt & DesignEXAM BOARD: Edexcel

Welcome Page

Art and Design A-level students complete Edexcel Art and Design A-level. This comprises of two units of work: Coursework which is broken into several individual topics together making up 60% of the final grade and the Exam unit worth 40% of the final grade.

The students are required to write an Extended Contextual Essay of between 1000-3000 words as part of the coursework unit which discusses the influences and critical understanding of photographers they have studied during their independent projects.

Art and Design is a popular A-Level choice which is respected by all universities because it gives you the knowledge and skills necessary for higher education and which are also useful in any career. Students who specialise in Art and Design can go onto career paths like Architecture, Graphic Design, Illustration, Animation and Engineering to name a few.

Exams

The A Level exam is 15 hours long and is spread over 3 days. Students are required to prepare a project of development work prior to the examination day and then produce final pieces in the exam. Papers are issued to students on the 1st February in Year 13 and students are given a 6 week preparatory period before the examination.

Knowledge, Skills, Understanding:

Throughout the A Level course, students are guided through 3 set topics of exploration to enhance their skill set as they progress to their final personal projects.

Topic 1 revolves around Architectural Forms – the student is required to conduct independent research into any form of architecture (Roman, Gothic, Art Deco, Victorian etc.) and develop their own style through a selective palate of materials (ink / biro pen, paint etc.) To conclude, the student illustrates contemporary design ideas to construct a fired Architectural Form clay piece.

Topic 2 progresses to the theme of Identity – the student is required to reflect upon their personal / cultural backgrounds, documenting with primary source imagery. Research is completed on world renowned portrait artists to enlighten the artistic approach taken by the student in interpreting their own large scale portrait outcomes.

Topic 3 provides a freehand to the student within the theme of Truth, Fantasy and Fiction in producing their Final Outcome. The student is required to explore beyond traditional forms of influence to produce a unique outcome

Students begin work on their personal projects after this and are given freedom to choose their own topic ideas and starting points. This project is split into 2 parts and must be completed by the end of January in Year 13 when coursework finishes and the exam unit begins.

Department Overview:

CTL: Mrs Spring A level teachers: Mr Akhtar & Miss QualterExpected trips and visits: one gallery visit per topic relating to chosen theme titles.Compulsory texts: wider reading around topic of your contextual essay and personal project.
