A Levels are split into two parts: AS and A2 Level. AS Level is the first year of the course where you’ll get an introduction to the key ideas and methods of the subject you’ve chosen. You’ll be encouraged to take four AS Level subjects and would then normally go on to take three of them at A2 Level. Or, you can mix and match AS Levels with a vocational course - see page 16 for more details.

AS / A2 Art and Design This course has a structured framework, creating a supportive learning environment. You are encouraged to develop your creative skills in a wide variety of media. This includes: drawing, painting, mixed media, textiles, sculpture (clay and plaster), printmaking (lino, silk screen and etching) and art history. There is a strong emphasis on the development of personal ideas as well as strong practical skills. You will study historical and contemporary art through visits to galleries and museums and have the opportunity to participate in ‘live’ projects with professional art practitioners. In the second year, you can undertake a study trip abroad to a location like New York or Barcelona.
Entry requirements: You must be enthusiastic and committed with a good artwork portfolio – preferably with 5 GCSEs at grade A–C, including Art.
Possible next steps: The course allows you to build a strong portfolio which you can use to apply to the BTEC Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art and Design and degree courses such as Fine Art, Fashion/ Textiles, Graphic Design, Film and Video and Architecture.
