Assessment

Throughout the two years there will be termly assessments of the progress of your portfolio. You are assessed on your portfolio (60%) at the end of January in Year 13 and then begin an externally set task (40%) where you chose from 5 exam board set titles and produce a further project on one of these themes. It concludes with a 15-hour controlled assessment during May of Year 13. There are 4 main assessment criteria, the same as at GCSE. AO1 Developing ideas by exploring the work of artist. AO2 Experimenting with media and concepts. AO3 Recording ideas relevant to your project through drawing, painting and photography. AO4 Bringing your project and ideas to a conclusion.
