The course follows a similar structure to the GCSE course, enabling students to gain an understanding of methods and practices within constructed, dyed and printed textiles. It involves the further development of observational drawing techniques, experimenting with and learning to use new media, processes and techniques. Students explore screen-printing, batik, weaving, knitting, hand and machine embroidery, hand dying and fabric painting, felt making and image transfer processes as well as digital photography and image manipulation. Critical studies is an integral part of the course and students use their increasing knowledge and experience of other artists’ work to aid the development of their own ideas and outcomes. Students initially follow a set theme such as the environment, surfaces, or architecture. As students progress through the units of course work, they are expected to choose their own themes or areas of study. The supporting studies for all units of work take the form of sketchbooks, mounted sheets, studies, textile responses, photographs and journals. All units of work are assessed internally and moderated externally by the board
