Homework is a vital part of the course and will be based on the development of class work. In order to help with resources the Art room is open for use most lunchtimes to complete homework or attempt extension work. Individual folder reviews are undertaken in Year 11, to ensure that all assessment objectives have been thoroughly addressed. The AQA Syllabus is followed.
The syllabus requires you to address four Assessment Objectives in both the portfolio component and the externally set assignment. The externally set assignment is a practical exam where students select from a number of externally set starting points. The exam is issued in the first week of January in Year 11 and students use this time to complete prep work followed by a 10 hour exam in which students complete their final piece.
All Assessment Objectives must be addressed. Following the externally set assignment students will put up an exhibition of their work which includes their portfolio and the externally set assignment. Linear means that students will sit all their exams and submit all their non-exam assessment at the end of the course. A portfolio that in total shows explicit coverage of the four assessment objectives.
Students respond to their chosen starting point from an externally set assignment paper relating to their subject title, evidencing coverage of all four assessment objectives. The content of the portfolio will be determined by the particular requirements and nature of the course of study undertaken. There is no restriction on the scale of work, media or materials used. The work submitted for this component will be marked as a whole. Students should carefully select, organise and present their portfolio and must ensure that it provides evidence of meeting all four assessment objectives.
They must identify and acknowledge sources which are not their own and provide evidence of drawing activity and written annotation. Work selected for the portfolio should be presented in an appropriate format and could include: mounted studies, sketchbooks, visual diaries, journals, design sheets, design proposals, models, maquettes, prototypes, storyboards, video, photographic or digital presentations, records of transient and site-specific installations.
AQA will provide a separate externally set assignment for each title, each with seven different starting points. Students must select and respond to one starting point from their chosen title. Students must ensure that the total submission for Component 2 evidences coverage of all four assessment objectives and evidence of drawing activity and written annotation.
Students must identify and acknowledge sources which are not their own. Externally set assignments will be available to students and teachers from 2 January. They must be given to students in their entirety and must not be edited, changed or abridged in any way.
A preparation period which can begin on or after 2 January is followed by 10 hours of supervised unaided work in which students are required to realise their intentions.
Students must not undertake any further preparatory studies once the first period of supervised time starts. All work submitted for this component will be marked as a whole.
Students may produce a single outcome or a series of related outcomes when realising their intentions in the supervised time.
