The aim of this book is to provide a practical guide and resource for students taking A-level Art and Design. It identifies and explores key issues in art and design at this level, such as observation, response, analysis, recording, providing a guide to good practice and equipping students with the necessary basic skills and resources for the course. Divided into six sections, the book focuses specifically on art history/appreciation and drawing and gives attention to the attitudes, responses and approaches of the students, often given in the form of written testimonies. The book presents possibilities for ways forward rather than simply following the usual step-by-step approach and aims to help students see the parallels between their own work and the work of established and famous artists. There is a section devoted to the importance of studying and responding to the work of mature artists and the developments section illustrates how the student can make use of experiences to produce work in a variety of media and processes.
