PP- Digging In

Process portfolio: 40% of exam, externally assessed; (34 Marks)

Students at SL and HL submit carefully selected materials which demonstrate their experimentation, exploration, manipulation and refinement of a variety of visual arts activities during the two-year course. The work, which may be extracted from their visual arts journal and other sketch books, notebooks, folios and so on, should have led to the creation of both resolved and unresolved works. The selected process portfolio work should show evidence of their technical accomplishment during the visual arts course and an understanding of the use of materials, ideas and practices appropriate to visual communication. They should be carefully selected to match the requirements of the assessment criteria at the highest possible level.  

Formal requirements of the task—SL 

SL students submit 9–18 screens, showing at least two art-making forms, each from separate columns of the art-making forms table. 

Formal requirements of the task—HL 

HL students submit 13–25 screens, showing work from at least three art-making forms, selected from a minimum of two columns of the art-making forms table. ​
