Roadmap

Coursework Guidance

Component 1: A portfolio, that in total, shows explicit coverage of the four assessment objectives. It must include a sustained project evidencing the journey from initial engagement to the realization of intentions and a selection of further work undertaken during the student’s course of study.
How it’s assessed • No time limit • 96 marks • 60% of GCSE

Students create a number of ‘projects’ based on teacher set themes. These cover 4 objectives for assessment. Project themes can include: Natural forms, Disguise, human form, Graffiti, Circles, the Ocean.

The 4 objectives are:

AO1: Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources.

AO2: Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media,

materials, techniques and processes.

AO3: Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.

AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response that realizes intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.

EXAMPLE IMAGES ARE AVAILABLE – please let your HOD know when you require these and they will direct you to a suitable folder directory.

Student Voice

Students felt they didn’t have the lesson often enough (some only have it twice each fortnight due to languages) however this is alleviated from Year 11 and students will have 3 lessons and after school (p4).
