Bronze Arts Award Overview
The Bronze Arts Award is a level one qualification, and has one unit - Enjoying the Arts. The award involves taking part in the arts, going to arts events, researching an arts hero or heroine and sharing your skills with others.
You record your achievements in a portfolio, including records of arts work you have seen and been part of, your personal reflections on the process and your own research material. You can choose how you present your portfolio - you might make a folder or sketchbook, or a video diary or website.
For more details of what's involved in a Bronze Award, please see the Enjoying the Arts section at www.artsaward.org.uk
The Bronze Award requires 30 guided learning hours, where you work with your Arts Award adviser, and 15 hours working independently.
