The work is presented in sketchbooks and display boards. Students respond to their chosen theme, incorporating relevant images and relating to the work of other drafts people which inspire them and, in turn, they interpret their findings in a unique and aesthetic way. Students will be made aware of the 4 assessment objectives which they fulfil and forms the marking criteria. The area of study for A level Textiles will be entitled ‘issues’. The topic is intentionally broad and gives the student flexibility and scope.
