At A2 learning and practice of investigative skills are important, but the quality of the product has greater emphasis. A2 Art comprises of a specialist project, students produce a variety of visual responses to a set theme culminating in two finished pieces of work. The investigation includes a related personal study of 1000-3000 words. The course also consists of a controlled test, a 15-hour exam based on research made during a minimum three week preparation period. The finished piece and research are assessed. There are four assessment objectives that are given weighted application to all parts of the course: Visual Recording - objective and imaginative drawing, visual representation of ideas, collection of images and other visual information. Critical Thinking - verbal and written discussion and analysis of art works, in their historical context. Practical Research - development of ideas, experiments with media and materials and improvement of the use of such formal concepts as composition and use of colour. Personal Development - producing visual and written work which gives a clear, structured response to assigned tasks.
