Year 10 Art Trip to Stroud College

It was a ‘taster day’ at Stroud College on 14th March, to give Year 10s a ‘taste’ of what college life is like, and especially what an art department within a college is like. They took part in 2 workshops- one 2D (collage) and one 3D (cardboard sculpture). We were also lucky enough to have 2 Stroud art students show and discuss their work with us. And all of our students behaved excellently. It was a fabulous day!  See the pictures.

Art at GCSE Level

This course is the equivalent of two GCSE awards and that means that for handing in all of your coursework and sitting through one exam, you will receive two GCSEs.

This course is aimed at those students who would like to work in the creative industries, as well as those who are contemplating careers in building, the beauty industry and media to name but a few from a list of hundreds.

Students will needs to be committed to producing high quality coursework to a deadline.  They will be expected to complete six projects and sit one exam over the two years of the course and they will be expected to complete 25% of their coursework in their own time.

The course consists of 3 units, each weighted equally.  This means that each part is worth one third of your final mark.  The units are:

• 2D & 3D visual language
• Materials techniques & technology
• Working to a brief (the exam)

You should be prepared to purchase an art kit and a coursework guide.
