But why does AQA continue to be so popular?  \nSpecifications designed for you and your students  \nOur specifications and assessments have been designed to the highest standards, so that teachers, students and their parents can be confident that an AQA award provides an accurate measure of students' achievements.  \nThe flexibility of the previous specification has been retained so that students can focus on an area of personal interest and you can create courses which play to your school or college's strengths. The specifications directly support progression to further and higher education in Art and Design and related subjects, as well as providing all students with a platform to inspire a lifelong interest in, and enjoyment of, Art and Design.  \nThey also offer logical progression from GCSE as the assessment objectives, structure and titles are very similar to those specified in the AQA GCSE Art and Design specification.  \nOur difference  \nAQA is a registered charity. We have no shareholders to pay. We exist solely for the good of education in the UK. Any surplus income is ploughed back into educational research and our service to you, our customers. We don’t profit from education, you do.  \nIf you are an existing customer then we thank you for your support. If you are thinking of moving to AQA then we look forward to welcoming you.  \nYou can find out about all of our Art and Design [qualifications at](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/art-and-design)[ ](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/art-and-design)[aqa.org.uk/art-and-design](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/art-and-design)  \n1.2 Support and resources to help you teach  \nWe know that support and resources are vital for your teaching and that you have limited time to find or develop good quality materials. So we’ve worked with experienced teachers to provide you with a range of resources that will help you confidently plan, teach and prepare for assessments.  \nTeaching resources  \nWe have a compr","cbCaiu61aBtor1g0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu61aBtor1g0","pdf",873660,36,"English","# 1 Introduction\n## 1.1 Why choose AQA for A-level Art and Design\n## 1.2 Support and resources to help you teach\n# 2 Specification at a glance\n## 2.1 Subject content\n## 2.2 Assessments\n## 2.3 Component details\n# 3 Subject content\n## 3.1 Summary of subject content\n## 3.2 Overarching knowledge, understanding and skills\n## 3.3 Art, craft and design\n## 3.4 Fine art\n## 3.5 Graphic communication\n## 3.6 Textile design\n## 3.7 Three-dimensional design\n## 3.8 Photography\n# 4 Scheme of assessment\n## 4.1 Synoptic assessment\n## 4.2 Aims\n## 4.3 Assessment objectives\n## 4.4 Assessment criteria\n## 4.5 Assessment weightings\n# 5 Non-exam assessment administration\n## 5.1 Supervising and authenticating\n## 5.2 Avoiding malpractice\n## 5.3 Teacher standardisation\n## 5.4 Internal standardisation\n## 5.5 Commenting\n## 5.6 Submitting marks\n## 5.7 Factors affecting individual students\n## 5.8 Keeping students' work\n## 5.9 Moderation\n## 5.10 After moderation\n# 6 General administration\n## 6.1 Entries and codes\n## 6.2 Overlaps with other qualifications\n## 6.3 Awarding grades and reporting results\n## 6.4 Re-sits and shelf life\n## 6.5 Previous learning and prerequisites\n## 6.6 Access to assessment: diversity and inclusion\n## 6.7 Working with AQA for the first time\n## 6.8 Private candidates","[{\"question\":\"What is the scope of the A-level Art and Design specification and which titles are included?\",\"answer\":\"The specification covers A-level Art and Design titles 7201, 7202, 7203, 7204, 7205, and 7206.
