You need to submit evidence for each of the assessment objectives and there are 4 in total. Each of the assessment objectives carries a top mark of 24 with a combined total of 96. Below is a breakdown of each assessment objective along with a description of what they cover: Assessment objective 1 - Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources. Assessment objective 2 - Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes. Assessment objective 3 - Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses. Assessment objective 4 - Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.

3. Assessment Objectives Below is a rough breakdown of what each area is asking for. A more detailed breakdown is on the following slides. AO2 AO1 Developing ideas led by artists or other Inspiration (artist Research) Explore appropriate techniques (Photoshop & Camera) Analyse the work of artists and techniques using technical terminology Review & Refine work (purpose) AO3 AO4 Record ideas relevant to intentions (plan) Present a personal & meaningful response. (does your work look like what you planned Reflect critically on work (success & improvements) Realise intentions & where appropriate make connections. (does it look like the artists?)

5. AO1 - Covering the assessment objective How do you develop ideas? How do you evidence analytical and critical understanding? Creating mind maps Detail and opinion of artist research Researching key words and terms Image analysis Creating mood boards Researching artists

Initial research contents Your research should contain: Keywords/mind map Mood board of different images that relate to the topic of seasons More specific areas that you plan to explore Image analysis on some of the key images Tips and things to consider when photographing Artist research a number of artists that inspire you.

7. AO3 RECORD IDEAS, OBSERVATIONS AND INSIGHTS RELEVANT TO INTENTIONS, REFLECTING CRITICALLY ON WORK AND PROGRESS AO3 - Photoshoot

10.

12. AO4 - Covering the assessment objective Present a personal and meaningful response Selection of best images after each shoot Portfolio of developed work, including outcomes.

Where appropriate, make connections between visual and other elements Make connections between own work and that of other artists.

13. Assessment criteria & Mark bands AO 4 Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements AO 1 Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding 21-24 An exceptional ability AO 2 Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops AO 3 Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress Here you can see how the marks are applied. For each assessment objective there is a descriptor and depending on how well you meet that description determines the mark.
