A Level Textiles explores many of the techniques, processes and concepts behind Fine Art Textiles design by exploring materials, surface, techniques and processes and linking them to contemporary and historical contextual references. The course gives students the opportunity to develop a range of skills, the ability to think in-depth about the concepts and ideas underpinning the work of Textile Artists and a critical approach towards the presentation and quality of their own work. During year 12 students develop their ability to use techniques and processes through intense periods of experimentation, guided by in-depth research into a variety of starting points. There are two portfolio projects in the autumn term, exploring practical and contextual starting points. In year 13, students complete a ‘Personal Investigation’ component in which they apply the skills they have developed through an independently designed project which combines practical and written elements. In year 13 the students complete an externally set (exam) project which comprises 40% of the overall assessment.
