| Key Stage 3 Arts Award Bronze (Level 1) carries 6 QCF credits and requires students to; take part in the arts, review an arts event, research an artist or crafts person and pass on their arts skills to others. Each student chooses their own starting point; these are diverse and based on the interests and pursuits of the individual. Arts Award’s unique qualifications supports students to grow as artists and arts leaders, inspiring them to connect with and take part in the wider arts world through setting personal challenges in an art form of their choice. By linking individually chosen topics and choice of materials to artists of the 20th Century this qualification and the work students produce can feed into GCSE Art if this is to be pursued in Years 10 and 11 |
