ONSLOW ST AUDREY’S SCHOOL

YEAR 10/11 GCSE EXAMINATIONS REVISION

GUIDE 2015

Exam Check List

Aim to arrive at school 15 minutes prior to an exam AT THE LATEST. It is much better to leave yourself a safety margin on timings in case of problems with the journey.

When taking exams, bags and coats should be left at the back of the hall or in lockers. We suggest that you do not bring any valuables with you.

Phones – Students must not have mobiles phones in their possession (either on or off). They can be handed in for safe keeping before the exam if necessary. This is very important – if a phone is found, there is a good chance that you will be disqualified from all your exams.

You should not have notes, Ipods, MP3 players or headphones etc in your possession.

You should bring a black pen, pencil, rubber and any other writing equipment needed for your exams. Only clear pencil cases are allowed on your desk, any others must be left in your bag. Do not use gel pens – this is because many of the exam papers are now scanned and sent electronically for marking – gel pens do not scan well.

If a calculator is required please supply your own. We only have a few spare for emergencies and this could mean you being at a disadvantage and working without one.

Sshh! There is absolutely no talking or communication between students once you enter the exam hall. If you have any questions, you should raise your hand once seated and an invigilator will come to you.

No food is allowed in the exam hall (if you have a special requirement – please see Mrs Chandler, Exams Manager, before the exams) PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST BEFORE COMING TO SCHOOL.

Water bottles are allowed in the exam hall if necessary. These should be clear bottles with a spill-proof cap. There should be no label on the bottle.

GCSE Art and Design The exam in Art is worth 40% of your overall GCSE mark.

You must ensure you have included the following in your journal preparation: 1. Mind maps / explore initial ideas. AO3

2. Primary Resources: Take your own photographs of associated with your theme.

AO3 3. Secondary Resources: Collected images from the Internet. AO3

4. Observational drawings; use of tone. AO3

5. Artist and relevant Research. AO1 (These should include artists looked at in lessons and also your own choice of artists relevant to the subject). Don’t forget to recreate their work and produce your own version in the style of the artist.

6. Drawings and experiments in a variety of media. AO2 (Including drawings from first hand observations or photographs. Also drawings from secondary sources like magazines or internet images).

7. Show clear links from your research through to final piece. AO4

8. Refine ideas. AO2 and AO3

9. Final Piece. AO4

Annotation allows you to show your understanding of the development and decision making process that you go through as you experiment with techniques and explore ideas. This should include your analysis of all barriers you come across and how you overcome them, what experiments are successful and why; and how they lead you to your decisions. You must show your understanding of the artists work researched, including analysis of all artists’ images that you include in your journal. You don’t need to write a huge amount but make sure what you write is relevant and personal, and always use keywords to support your vocabulary.

Developing and refining: Your first idea might be your best, but with nothing to compare it to you cannot be sure and neither can the examiner. Create a series of initial ideas and select the best to adapt and improve; by experimenting with media, composition, colour etc

Experiments should have a purpose and you should annotate what you have learnt from the experiment. Was the result expected? How does this help you move forward towards a final piece?

Media: You must explore a wide variety of different media and materials in your investigations in your journal. Don’t rely on just Corel Draw and Photo Paint. You should include at least four of the following: Pencil, charcoal, chalk, oil pastels, acrylic, watercolours, inks, embroidery string, ICT

Techniques: Painting, Drawing, Stencilling, Rubbings, Drawings, Paintings, Stitching, Mono-printing, Photo Collage, Digital Collage, Paper Collage, Mixed-Media, Oil Pastel, Chalks, Ink and Gutta, Ink and chalk/paint

1. Planning: You have eight weeks to prepare for your exam and to meet all the

assessment objectives; and resolve any difficulties. 2. Presentation: Your work should be presented to a high standard at all times, giving

consideration to layout and tidiness. 3. Process: Experiment and don’t be afraid for things going wrong, unexpected

resulted results give you something interesting to say in your annotation. Why did it go wrong and what did you learn?

4. Purpose: Remember the exam title; ensure that your ideas and development work

link. Does whatever you are doing meet the assessment objectives? 5. Practice: Experiment when doing observational drawing, by viewing the objects from

different angles. Use a range of different media composition and techniques to find out what works best for your image. Practice will also help to build your confidence in preparation for your final piece.

6. Product: This is your final piece. By completing all the assessment objectives as

fully as you can and being as fully prepared as possible you will be able produce your best final piece.

How can I meet the assessment objectives? Look at magazines, books, internet, newspapers Cut out interesting images from magazines etc Do some initial rough sketches Draw from interesting relevant objects – primary sources Take own Photographs Write down your thoughts, explain your thought process Decide what works and what doesn’t; continue to pursue what does work Explain links – how does each part of your research link together and does it link

to the work of others? Look at how your idea has been approached by other artists or cultures Visit your local museum, gallery or relevant area for inspiration Collect information on your subject e.g. leaflets Develop your ideas and work Decide what works and what you don’t want to pursue Experiment with media Decide on a final piece (Graphic Product: illustration, poster, packaging, banner,

album cover etc) What message are you communicating through your chosen graphic product?

Think about the purpose of the product Try different compositions Experiment with text – how will it work with your image(s) Make small rough versions of what your final idea might look like; to resolve any

problems before you get to the exam and make connections to artists’/designers’ work

Poetry – Section A:

At Cider Mill Farm

I remember my uncle’s farm Still in mid-summer Heat hazing the air above the red roof tops Some cattle sheds, a couple of stables Clustered round a small yard Lying under the hills that stretched their long back Through three counties. I rolled with the dogs Among the hay bales Stacked high in the barn he built himself During a storm one autumn evening Tunnelled for treasure or jumped with a scream From a pirate ship’s mast into the straw Burrowed for gold and found he’d buried Three battered Ford cars deep in the hay. He drove an old tractor that sweated oil In long black streaks down the rusty orange It chugged and whirred, coughed into life Each day as he clattered across the cattle grids I remember one night my cousin and I Dragging back cows from over the common We prodded them homeward through the rain And then drank tea from huge tin mugs Feeling like farmers. He’s gone now, he sold it But I have been back for one last look To the twist in the lane that borders the stream Where Mary, Ruth and I once waded Water sloshing over our wellies And I showed my own children my uncle’s farm The barn still leaning over the straw With for all I know three battered Ford cars Still buried beneath it.
