Open Arts Award Bronze

Content

This Bronze Arts Award Learning Playlist is designed to support and guide you through your Bronze Arts Award journey. The playlist is generic and offers you the opportunity to identify your own arts activities to participate in, your own arts event to review, your own research into your own arts inspiration, as well as the freedom to identify, plan and realise the sharing of a creative and arts skill with others. 
﻿
Bronze Arts Award is a Level 1 qualification (on the Regulated Qualifications Framework) and is open to young people aged 11 to 25. To achieve a Bronze Arts Award, young people collect evidence in an individual arts log or portfolio of their experiences, for you this will be done through the Blackpool City of Learning platform and achievements recognised by badges. The platform allows you to submit, text, images (photos), videos, hyperlinks and much more as part of your evidence. What is important is that you answer and respond to the tasks within each of the activities. 
﻿
Find out more about the  Bronze Arts Award  and watch the video.
