About OCR A-Level Art & Design
OCR provides GCSE and A-Level qualifications with a strong academic heritage. Their specifications are developed in partnership with the University of Cambridge and are widely adopted across England.
A-Level Art and Design is a portfolio-based qualification that develops your creative, technical, and critical skills to a high level. You will explore a wide range of media and techniques — drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, digital art, textiles, or mixed media depending on your chosen endorsement — while developing your ability to research, experiment, and refine ideas through a sustained personal project.

Study Tips for OCR Art & Design
Annotate your sketchbook work thoughtfully — explain your creative decisions, analyse the artists who have influenced you, and reflect on what worked and what you would do differently. Examiners assess your thinking process, not just the finished outcomes.
Research artists and designers who are relevant to your project theme in depth, not breadth. Studying three artists thoroughly and showing how they have specifically influenced your own practice is more effective than briefly mentioning ten.
Experiment with materials and techniques that push you outside your comfort zone. Moderators want to see risk-taking and development — a perfect but predictable portfolio scores lower than one that shows genuine exploration and growth.
Manage your time carefully by working backwards from the deadline. A-Level Art requires sustained effort over many months, and leaving the final outcomes to the last weeks results in rushed work that does not reflect your true ability.
