Art & Design

Art is the oxygen that makes other subjects breathe

WJEC Specification

The broad-based Art, Craft and Design title will enable students to explore a range of two-dimensional, three-dimensional or time-based approaches to their studies. Artists, craftspeople and designers, while working within their own disciplines, are often inspired and influenced by those working in a wide range of different creative areas. They draw inspiration from images, compositions, forms and ideas outside of their own discipline. They work frequently in multi-disciplinary and cross disciplinary ways, breaking traditional boundaries to create works of art, craft and design that combine ideas, concepts and materials in new ways.

Students are encouraged to work and develop skills in a multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary way, exploring the connections between areas of art, craft and design and gaining knowledge and understanding of the scope and variety of disciplines and approaches.

You will study:

Component 1: Personal Investigation, students must work in at least two disciplines, drawn from different endorsed titles. This component is weighted 60% of the total qualification. It incorporates three major elements: supporting studies, practical work and a personal study of a minimum 1000 words of continuous prose.

Component 2: Externally Set Assignment, students may choose to produce work in one or more disciplines. Students may produce work entirely from a single discipline from one of the endorsed titles for Component 2. This component is weighted 40% of the total qualification. It incorporates two major elements: preparatory studies and the 15–hour period of sustained focus. It is internally assessed, and externally moderated.
