(I)GCSE Graphic Communication

I only started teaching Graphics as an actual exam subject when I moved to Shanghai. Previous to this I had delivered graphics (Photoshop and handmade only) through the BTEC First and National courses, but teaching IGCSE Graphics I had to really brush up on my own skills in InDesign and Illustrator. Its interesting to see how many male students prefer to opt for Graphics, leaving mainly girls opting for Art. This is definitely something Art departments in the UK should consider to pull in the boys! Offering it as a separate subject really seems to encourage our male uptake, while in actual fact we're delivering a very "Art" based education.
