We have now handed out the AQA A Level Art, Craft and Design Component 2 question papers. This document provides 10 areas of investigation for each of the 8 starting points. An ideal document to hand to weaker students, who need extra support.
No Component 2 starting points are written in this document as this would contravene regulations. Numbers 1 to 8 are used, so this should be used alongside the question paper.

It is a fully editable resource which gives you the power to alter it to meet the requirements of your students. Ideal for teachers who have moved from DT Textiles to Art Textiles. Please note that the theme of the guide is different to the Component 2 questions because we are not allowed to reproduce the questions as this would contravene Ofqual regulations, but you will be able to very quickly edit the resource to link to whichever questions your students want to study.
