AO1 Initial ideas for project and development of ideas Artist research – relevance of artists and quality of analyses
BASIC
A sense of order to project. Ideas repetitive
(1 – 5 Marks) Limited artist links – descriptive language used COMPETENT
Ideas linked but not
(6-10 Marks)
developed in enough detail – realised too quickly
CONFIDENT (11-15 Marks)
Artist research starts to consider complex issues. Critical vocab used Wide range of ideas explored independently Researches diverse range of artists. Analyses go into depth about complex issues
FLUENT (16-20 Marks)
Exciting ideas explored. Risks taken Thorough artist research – clear understanding of the artists ideas and issues in work
AO2 Experimentation with materials and techniques
AO3 Research into subject matter/theme
Evaluation of own work
Quality of initial and developmental photographs Reflection on work and progress
Experiments are unrefined, techniques often repeated
Initial photos are weak – formal elements crude.
Little evaluation of own work Experiments with broad range of media – often very safe
Lots of secondary imagery used
Initial photos are competent – formal elements a little inconsistent
Links made to artist & other sources
Final outcomes show some awareness of composition, form but also undeveloped technical skills. Weak artist links Final outcomes show sense of own style. Sound outcomes with links made to artist(s)
Evaluation helps project develop
Diverse range of experiments.
AO4 Final outcomes
Initial photos are technically strong and formal elements good.
Skilful outcome show personal identity and high level of skill.
Risks sometimes taken in work
Good decisions made about what to photograph and strong selection
Outcomes make perceptive links to artist(s)
Experiments are wide ranging, creative and imaginative.
Photos are technically and aesthetically excellent.
Original, exciting and imaginative final outcomes.
Insightful and detailed evaluation
In depth knowledge of subject and independently analyses research to develop sophisticated ideas
Project from start to finish is sophisticated and photos are consistently excellent
All experiments are evaluated and refined
