A Level Art Intro

This document outlines the two-year course of study for A-Level art. In the first year, students are introduced to new media and explore artists to develop ideas for their first coursework project on identity. The second year focuses on a exam project set by the board, alongside continuing their coursework. Students research artists and themes, develop concepts, and create final pieces. They must demonstrate contextual links, media exploration, idea development, and responding personally to their theme. The course aims to develop students' technical, analytical and critical thinking skills through sustained investigations informed by research.
