Key Stage 4

Art & Design GCSE (Edexcel)

For the GCSE portfolio unit, students complete two units of work:

1. Abstraction and Distortion

This unit is skills-based and is more supported and teacher-led.  Students produce a piece of clay work and a canvas, and are encouraged to keep a sketch book.  We look at the work of other artists.

2. I, Me, Mine

This unit allows students to build on the first unit and to develop confidence and self-expression.  There is a choice of media for the final piece, including paint, clay, animation and fashion.

Exam

An open-ended theme is set by the exam board.  Examples of themes are "I, Me, Mine" and "Similarities and Differences".
