iGCSE Art & Design

​The iGCSE Art & Design course is a comprehensive two-year program that balances creativity with technical skill. Students will complete 60% of their assessment through coursework, based on a self-chosen theme, while the remaining 40% is based on a response to a theme set by the exam board. This journey culminates in a 10-hour practical exam, spread over two or three days, held at an exam center or school.

​

At Red, Yellow & Blue, students — typically 14 to 16 year olds — begin their studies in the Autumn term by embarking on a 12-month coursework project.

 

The exam title is released on January 1st of the final year of the iGCSE, at which point students begin working intensively on their exam preparation.

​

Throughout the course, students work primarily in sketchbooks or on A2 sheets, fostering a hands-on, exploratory approach to art and design.
