The coursework element begins in September of Year 10 and runs until the receipt of practical exam paper in February of Year 11.
Support
- Practical workshops run every Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes, when Art teachers are available for advice and one-to-one tuition
- Gallery visit in October of Year 10 and 3D artist-led workshop in January of Year 11
- Support materials for students on the Year 10 & 11 Art fronter pages.
Home Learning
This runs alongside the coursework and exam preparation and will be the continuation of what student’s are doing in class. We would expect this to be at least two hours a week.
Equipment/Materials
Art kits are available to purchase from the Art department at the beginning of Year 10 and a wide range of materials is available for use throughout the course. Students can also buy a variety of sketchbooks from the department at cost price.
