Assessment

At both Higher and Standard Levels, you are required to do three things: 1. Exhibition 40% (Internally assessed) 2. Process Portfolio 40% (Externally assessed) 3. Comparative Essay 20% (Externally assessed) At both levels each pupil prepares an exhibition of work produced during the course. The pupil will then be asked to explain the content through a written ‘curatorial rationale’. The exhibition is internally assessed by the teacher and the process portfolio – a ‘condensed version’ of the sketchbook is externally moderated by the IB examiners, along with the Comparative Essay which is also submitted digitally. You are assessed on how well you present your thoughts and ambitions in both visual and written forms.
