What will I be learning?
During year 11 students will continue to be guided through their self directed projects following the theme of 'Close up'. Students at the start of year 11 should feel confident in the direction they wish to persue with the theme of 'Close up' during Term 1 & 2.
Year 11 will have a prodominant focus on embeding the assessment objectives into the course to document students ability to experiment, explore and apply resilience to a range of materials and processes to reach a resolved personal and meaningful response responding to identity. They will work with a variety of techniques, materials and processes following the assessment objectives below:
AO1: Develop ideas
AO2: Refine work
AO3: Record ideas
AO4: Present a personal and meaningful response
During Term 3, 4 and 5 students will be assigned a brief from the Exam board, Edexcell. This is refered to as the ESA (Externally set assignment). The ESA is waited 40% of students overall mark. Students by this point should have learnt many skills, and techniques and have a bank of ideas to prepare them for the development through their journey of work. Towards the end of the course, students will sit a 10 hour exam whereby they produce and present a personal and meaningful response (Final piece).
How do I develop my knowledge?
Students should develop knowledge by exploring and experimenting with different processes, mediums and techniques. Eg. 1. Complete a drawing 2. Recreate this drawing using craft wire.
Students should also continuously be exposed to artists and Art and this could be supported by going on visits to galleries, museums and exhibitions in their own time.
