Assessment

60% - Coursework (Component 1). 40% - Externally Set exam (Component 2). AO1: Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. AO2: Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops. AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress. AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realizes intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements. Externally set Exam: Students respond to a stimulus, provided by AQA, to produce work that provides evidence of their ability to work independently within specified time constraints, developing a personal and meaningful response that addresses all the assessment objectives and leads to a finished outcome or a series of related finished outcomes.
