What the teacher is looking for...
AO1 – Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources.
• What sort of source(s) has been chosen? - The artists, artwork and sources in your research
• There is a difference between just collecting reference material / research and using reference material / research. Can we see evidence of interrogating the source(s) and any understanding of the value of research?
• What value has the student placed on the source? What has it been used for? Does it support the development of the creative journey? If so, How? - Has your research influenced what you did next?
• How has the student demonstrated an understanding of the source? To what depth?
AO2 – Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes.
• Is there evidence of ideas progressing and changing over time via whatever means? Are decisions being made by the student? Is there evidence of understanding, intent and purpose behind decisions made? - Have you annotated your contact sheet to show why you chose certain images over others?
• Is there evidence (visual or otherwise) of the value / significance of changes made, results of experiments, results of trials with materials, mark making experiments, changes in concept or technique? - What have you tried differently in each shoot, have you explored different editing techniques?
• If copying or pastiche of a source is evident, what is the value of it to their understanding and the student’s learning or progression of ideas?
AO3 – Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.
• Does any annotation record an idea, insight or observation?
• Does any element of drawing record an idea, insight or observation?
• Does any visual and / or annotated practice help us understand the nature of progression or understanding of the student’s ideas. Do we see any evidence of the student’s intention. - Have you explained what you intend to do next and why?
• Do we see any evidence that helps us to identify the depth of understanding as the student progresses work and ideas.
AO4 – Present a personal response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.
• Are we seeing a collection of evidence that clearly tells us about the student’s independent and creative journey?
• Are we seeing a collection of evidence that tells us that the student’s journey is informed by the work or direction of others?
• Are we seeing a collection of evidence that brings together intention, understanding and meaning that has been derived from sources and the student’s own skills, imagination and understanding?
• Are we seeing evidence of a student’s independent creative journey? - Can we see a clear 'thread' running through your work? Is it clear how you got from the starting point to your final outcome?
• Are we looking at evidence of a journey with many outcomes in response to trials, tests, experiments? Has the student attempted and / or made a number personal responses and realisations throughout the journey?
• What sort of source(s) has been chosen? - The artists, artwork and sources in your research
