Meet the team
The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Art and Design consists of two components, both teacher assessed and externally moderated by the examination board. While it is not a prerequisite that a student wishing to study A–Level Art must have completed GCSE Art and Design, the student will be expected to produce evidence of ability in drawing and interest in the subject before being accepted onto the course.
Internally set, assessed by teacher and externally moderated 60% of the total qualification
Marks available: 90
This component allows students opportunities to generate and develop ideas, research primary and contextual sources, record practical and written observations, experiment with media and processes, and refine ideas towards producing personal resolved outcome(s). This will require students to address each of the Assessment Objectives given. Students must work within one of the following titles: Art, Craft and Design, Fine Art, Graphic Communication, Textile Design, Three–dimensional Design, Photography.
Incorporates three major elements: supporting studies, practical work, and a personal study.
Supporting studies and practical work will comprise a portfolio of development work and outcomes based on themes and ideas developed from personal starting points.
The personal study will be evidenced through critical written communication showing contextual research and understanding in a minimum 1000 words of continuous prose, which may contain integrated images. The personal study comprises 12% of the total qualification and is marked out of 18.
Work must cover all four Assessment Objectives and be marked using the assessment grid given by the examination board.
Externally set, assessed by teacher and externally moderated 40% of the total qualification
Marks available: 72
This component allows students opportunities to generate and develop ideas, research primary and contextual sources, record practical and written observations, experiment with media and processes, and refine ideas towards producing personal resolved outcome(s) in response to an externally set theme. This will require students to address each of the Assessment Objectives given. Students must continue to work within the same title as component 1.
