Read through the page below so you know what you are doing in the mock exam. You then have the remaining lessons to prepare and ask questions so that you are confident with working independently.
Overview of what you need to achieve.
By the end of the day, you need to have completed the outcomes for both of your projects as a miniumum, plus hopefully you will have written an evaluation of each project and be close to being finished overall.
Coursework will be marked and you will be given a mark out of 96, which is 60% of your grade. |
Task 1
Hours 1-2: Create your HUMAN FIGURE final pieces.
Aim to create your 3 final pieces by BREAK TIME or shortly after.
Hours 3-4: Create your ARCHITECTURE final pieces.
Aim to create your 3 final pieces by LUNCH TIME or earlier.
To be successful in AO4 you need to:
- produce a series of images (3 or more) for your project
- your series must bring together all of the best parts of your experiments
- You must include elements of all of the artists you have looked at (most have 2 artists, some of you have 3)
- your series of images must look like they go together - similar techniques, colours etc.
- They might tell a narrative across your images - eg. 3 parts of a story
- Think about how they will be presented - these images will be printed and presented alongside being displayed on your website.
Above anything else, your work must demonstrate the best of your ability.
For a 5 or above, you are aiming to show a consistent ability to competently present a personal and meaningful response and realize intentions, as well as a consistent ability to demonstrate understanding of visual language.
If you are going for gold and aiming higher, the language refers to the level of skill which changes to 'highly developed ability' or an 'exceptional ability'...

Task Two
Hour 5: Evaluation
When your final pieces are finished and uploaded, you need to write an evaluation for each project at the bottom of the page. This MUST be completed in the exam time for the real exam, so try to leave time for it BUT if you dont have time, the most important thing is to finish the outcomes for your two projects. Write it on Word so you can spell check and save, then copy it over when finished. To evaluate, use these questions to help you:
What was the title of your project and how have you developed your project inspired by it? What approach have you taken?
Which artists have inspired your project and how?
What have you experimented with to help you develop your ideas for the project?
What is the idea behind your final series of images and how does it bring together the best parts of your project?
How did you create your final series of images?
What are the overall strengths of your project and why?
What are your areas for development - what do you need to work on in future projects?
If you need sentence starters, use them (copy and paste!), but add plenty to them. No one word answers! Explain yourself fully and expand on your answers as much as you can.

What if I finish early?
1. Go back to your final experiments and add in any additional ones that would demonstrate a higher level of skills when bringing your ideas together. Use different images where possible, and try slightly different techniques so that your ideas and techniques and developing and showing progress.
2. Write up each experiment when you upload it - what did you do - how and why did you do it like this? - how does it link to your artists? - What are the strengths and areas for development? 3. Check that your work really is the best of your ability. What would Miss Wilson say?? Be picky... find weaker areas and strengthen them with a little resilience.
4. Make sure that everything is finished, uploaded and explained. 5. Make improvements to either project (in purple!). DO NOT WASTE THE TIME IF YOU HAVE FINISHED! GET YOURSELF SOME EXTRA MARKS!!! |
