Pupil’s comments:
‘Phokela was more interesting to look at
because his work looked more fun...like he
was making a joke of it.’
‘I thought they were quite funny with lots
going on. Holbein was a bit boring.’
Assessment commentary
Pupil A’s work shows some involvement and
humour. However, he has not reflected or
evaluated effectively and his skills lack
sophistication.
Understanding art, craft and design:
In a group discussion about portraits by
Holbein and Phokela, Pupil A talked
about how portraits can suggest what a
person is like and made suggestions
about the characters of people shown.
Creating art, craft and design:
In drawing his portraits, Pupil A has
divided the face with guidelines (as
instructed by the teacher), but has not
grasped proportion (a springboard for
this project). He has made incorrect
assumptions about facial proportion and
repeated these. He has not evaluated his
own work or improved his skills.
Next steps
To progress, Pupil A needs to:
■ look more closely at what he is studying
to develop observational drawing skills
■ revisit instructions regarding proportion
■ consider how clues and signs (such as clothes, hairstyles, ornaments and possessions) can be used to
give messages about a person.
