Art Department Key Stage 4

 

KS4 is where students really start to mature as artists. At this level, teaching the whole class evolves into individual tuition. At this level the student really starts to become aware of the possibilities of the subject and the power of their own creative expression.

GCSE Art comprises two complex and extended pieces of coursework. The externally set exam provides the third Unit of Work.
Unit 1 focuses on Visual Language, media, techniques and practical responses.
Unit 2 focuses on the knowledge, understanding and ideas of the student.
Unit 3 brings all of this together in the practical exam.
