Bronze Award

• Qualification level: Level 1 Award (RQF, equivalent to GCSE grades 1 to 3)
• Starts to add more independence while developing creative skills in an artform
• Open to anyone aged 11 to 25

The Bronze Award is a good choice for mentees that have some experience of an art form and wish to develop their skills further. Mentees also create a review of an arts event, research a creator of choice and share skills with others.

The Bronze Award is made up of 4 parts:

• Part A: Explore the arts as a participant – Mentees take part in arts activities showing improvement over time and reflecting as they go
• Part B: Explore the arts as an audience member – Mentees experience an arts event and create their own review in a format of choice
• Part C: Arts inspiration – Research a creator of choice to learn about their career, life and work
• Part D: Arts skills share – plan and deliver a skill-share activity showing others how to do something

Mentees start to develop their independence for the Bronze Award and can explore any artform as part of their award. Here are some examples of mentee’s work for the Bronze Award:
