10 week preparation period which culminates in a 10 hours of sustained focused work
Work will be assessed on a regular basis focusing on the following assessment objectives:
AO1 develop their ideas through investigations informed by contextual and other sources demonstrating analytical and cultural understanding
AO2 refine their ideas through experimenting and selecting appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes
AO3 record ideas, observations and insights relevant to their intentions in visual and/or other forms
AO4 present a personal, informed and meaningful response demonstrating analytical and critical understanding, realising intentions and where appropriate, making connections between visual, written, oral or other elements
