This course is for students who love art, and who want to develop their intellectual, imaginative, creative and intuitive powers, alongside aesthetic understanding and critical judgement.

Students will learn to understand the interrelationships between art and design and develop an awareness of the contexts in which they operate. You will also increase knowledge and understanding from both contemporary and the historical viewpoints. Complementary subjects include textiles, design technology, as well as humanity subjects such as English Literature or history. There will be opportunities to visit galleries and printing workshops locally and further afield.

The A-level course consists of two components, both teacher assessed and externally moderated. Component 1: Personal Investigation (60%) and Component 2 : Externally Set Assignment (40%).
