, Assessment Objectives
You should provide evidence that fulfils the four Assessment Objectives:
AO1 Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations
informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and
critical understanding
AO2 Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials,
techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work
develops
AO3 Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting
critically on work and progress
AO4 Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions
and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and
other elements.
Preparatory studies
Preparatory studies will respond to the Externally Set Assignment theme
and may include sketchbooks, notebooks, worksheets, design sheets, large-
scale rough studies, samples, swatches, test pieces, maquettes, digital
material… anything that shows fully your progress towards your outcomes.
Your preparatory studies should show evidence of:
• your development and control of visual literacy and the formal elements
(tone, texture, colour, line, form and structure)
• an exploration of techniques and media
• investigations showing engagement with appropriate primary and secondary sources
• the development of your thoughts, decisions and ideas based on the theme
• critical review and reflection.
Period of sustained focus
During the 15-hour period of sustained focus you will produce your final
outcome(s) responding to the Externally Set Assignment theme, based on your
preparatory studies.
The period of sustained focus may take place over more than one session. You will
not be able to access your work outside of these sessions. Once the 15-hour
supervised period has ended you will not be able to add to or alter your
work.
