This is based on teacher feedbackandthe popularity of the combined assessment option in the previous specification. Itreflects the holistic nature of assessment in art and design through projects which allowsynoptic use of any content in anyway as relevant to the learner and their area ofpractical focus.  \n# Why choose Art and Design Practice?\n\nThis qualification is for learners interested in taking a hands-on course alongside their GCSEs that will developtheir creative skills and offer them an insight into what it is like to work in the art and design sector. This courseoffers a practical introduction to an exciting sector that transects multiple industries such as fashion, games,advertising, graphics and publishing, craft and product design, interior design and architecture.  \nThis award enables learners to develop skills across a range of art and design practices using a combination ofpractical exploration, experimentation and realistic vocational contexts. They will develop personal skills, suchas managing creative projects, documenting progress of skills and work, responding to briefs and presentingwork through a practical and skills-based approach to learning and assessment.  \nOptional content is built into the components, allowing teachers and learners choice over which practicaltechniques they would like to cover or specialise in – including 3D and product design, digital and graphics(including photography), fashion and textiles, drawing and mark-making – without the need for additionalassessments to cover optional units. The specification also allows a flexible approach to delivering andapplying practices that span different areas such as photography as a focus or as part of graphics, fashionand/or mark-making. Technical skills-related content within each area is indicative, not prescriptive.  \nAll assessment is practical and project-driven making it relevant to the sector and building learners’skills andportfolio of work. Assessments are designed to be engaging, open and flexible, stimulating creative ideaswithout restricting types or direction of learner response.  \nThis BTEC Tech Award complements the learning in GCSE programmes such as the GCSE in Design andTechnology, through developing and applying art and design practice skills to commercial products. Thisenables learners to apply knowledge and skills in a practical way through project work, such as developingideas and creating art and design outcomes for specific audiences. Successful completion of this courseopens up progression toA Levels or the study of a vocational qualification at Level 3, such as a BTEC National.  \n# Assessment overview\n\n100% practical withno written exams!  \nComponents are interrelated and best seen as part of an integrated whole rather than as distinct study areas.  \n\n| Component   | GLH   | Qualificationweighting   | Marks  \u003Cbr>available   | Type of  \u003Cbr>assessment   | Length of  \u003Cbr>assessment   | Availability   |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Component 1:  \u003Cbr>Creative Practice inArt and Design   | 72   | 60%   | 84   | Internal  \u003Cbr>assessment  \u003Cbr>(PSA*) with  \u003Cbr>4 tasks.Externally  \u003Cbr>moderated   | 20 hours ofsupervisedsessions   | September releasefor assessment inMay/June (from2023)   |\n| Component 2:Responding toa Brief   | 48   | 40%   | 60   | Externalsynoptictask.Externallymarked   | 20 hours ofsupervisedsessions   | January release forassessment inMay/June (from2024)   |\n\n* Pearson Set Assignm","cbCaihvfWOYppRjM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihvfWOYppRjM","pdf",1132106,"English","# Component overview\n## Component 1: Creative Practice in Art and Design\n## Component 2: Responding to a Brief\n# Why choose Art and Design Practice?\n# Assessment overview\n# Complimentary resources and support\n# Choosing a BTEC Tech Award","[{\"question\":\"What are the two components of the BTEC Tech Award in Art and Design practice?\",\"answer\":\"The award includes Component 1: Creative Practice in Art and Design and Component 2: Responding to a Brief.
