ART

Individual student projects Individual student projects and External exam Preparation External exam

Coursework Coursework at A2 (unit 3) incorporates two elements Practical work and a written Personal study which takes the form of a critical written response to a negotiated starting point of significant artistic interest The two elements should be seen as integrally connected and supporting each other The deadline for completion of coursework is 1 February External Exams The external 12 hour art exam will be conducted over two days under exam conditions set by Edexcel Homework Homework is issued and marked every week and it forms important links with class work As the year goes on homework is focused more on the completion of coursework pieces and the development of the sketchbook It is vital that students understand that lsquoeverythingrsquo they do over the 1 year course will be marked and as such may affect their grade Assessment Policy The exam at A2 (unit 4) is an externally set theme which following the preparatory period (as in GCSE and AS) culminates in a 12 hour terminal exam Assessment Objectives are shared with AS and whilst very similar to GCSE expect a greater depth of understanding and enquiry Recommendations Encourage students to draw from rsquodirect observationrsquo as much as possible this will help to develop their skills and confidence in many other areas Encourage students to visit art galleries and exhibitions to enhance their understanding of the work of artists craftspeople and designers Visits to universities and organizing relevant work experience is recommended to those considering art as a possible career path Recommended Websites for Art amp Design include Artscape mdash wwwartscapeorguk Database of contemporary artists in the UK mdash wwwaxisartistsorguk The British Film Institute mdash wwwbfiorguk The British Museum mdash wwwthebritishmuseumacuk The Crafts Council mdash wwwcraftscouncilorguk The Design Council mdash wwwdesign-councilorguk
