GCSE Art Craft and Design Course Information

Course Information: Art Craft and Design A GCSE in Art Craft and Design will help you towards careers in the Design and Creative industries sectors. You will develop your knowledge from KS3 of a variety of different artists and refine your level of skills in a range of media. You will work in a similar manner to KS3 but in much more depth: you will work to a theme, then investigate the work of other artists. You will develop ideas through exploring media and produce your own piece in response. From the Specification: This title offers a broad-based course designed to promote learning across a variety of experiences. Art, Craft and Design can involve use of an almost limitless range of techniques, processes and materials, including those that are recyclable. A wide range of processes, tools, techniques, materials and resources may be employed to create artefacts and to generate diverse evidence of working methods and outcomes. The emphasis is on an increased breadth of approach commensurate in demand with the depth of learning required in the more specialised titles. Art, Craft and Design can be distinguished from other titles in as much as students are able to explore personal interests and demonstrate their abilities across a particularly broad course of study. Students must also explore practical and relevant critical and contextual sources such as the work of historical and contemporary artists, craftspeople and designers as well as the different purposes, intentions and functions of art, craft and design as appropriate to their own work. Art, Craft and Design offers flexibility in content and approach and students undertaking this option must explore and create work associated with at least two of the titles listed: Fine Art Graphic Communication Textile Design Three-dimensional Design Photography Critical and Contextual Studies. https://www.eduqas.co.uk/qualifications/art-and-design-gcse/#tab_overview For further information on this course please contact angela.devall@heritage.ttct.co.uk
