Project structure
At the end of the course you submit a portfolio of evidence, representing
around 45 hours of work. This is normally made up of two coursework projects. A
project includes preparatory studies and a final piece.
A project is the work you do exploring a theme or brief. It includes your
preparatory work, normally in the form of a sketchbook, and a final piece. You
need to show you have met all the assessment objectives in each project.
Although you can attempt the assessment objectives in any order, it is
advisable to work methodically through a project.
To make a successful final piece, you must:
Clearly link your final piece with your sketchbook work.
Make sure your final piece links to your artist research within your
sketchbook.
Finish all of your sketchbook work before you start your final piece - it's worth a lot
more marks.
Make sure your personal response isn't simply be a larger version of your sketchbook
work.
Review and refine your design ideas so that you are completely happy with
them.
Experiment with materials or create maquettes before you start your final
piece.
Portfolio
At
the end of the course you will need to create a portfolio of evidence to submit
for formal assessment. Your portfolio should represent roughly 45 hours of work.
When selecting work for your portfolio, it is important
to:
1. make sure you have clearly covered all of the assessment
objectives
2. present your work to the best of your ability
3. avoid submitting random pieces of work - your portfolio should include projects that
show a development of work
