In Art & Design we aim to encourage creativity through exploration and experimentation. Our curriculum focuses on developing key skills in a wide variety of media, materials and processes including drawing, painting, ceramics, 3D structural forms, textiles and photography.
Pupils are given the opportunity to analyse and critically reflect on both their own work and the work of others including artists, craft makers and designers and are taught how art and design has influenced historical and cultural development around the world.
The courses are practical, and the marking criteria is split between a 60% portfolio (coursework) and a 40% exam (set task). This will allow pupils to demonstrate a wide variety of artistic skills in a variety of contexts. Guided by teachers pupils will put together a showcase of their best work. The set task from the exam will be provided by teachers and pupils will spend time completing the work for this during the school day. Pupils are required to produce a wide range of coursework throughout the two years. Pupils will be required to research and develop work in your own time.
There will be a formative assessment during each project and a summative assessment at the end of each unit.
