Three-dimensional collage of a fish
Assessment commentary
Pupil B has re-engaged with the aims of the project and produced work of some significance. Her work
shows clear references to resource material, showing she is looking to her research to inform her own work.
Exploring and investigating:
Pupil B’s work shows that she has exploited a variety of approaches to investigate and record ideas,
information and resources. She has used photographs to develop her ideas and experimented with
materials to resolve problems of representing both fins and scales in a decorative fashion.
Creating art, craft and design:
Pupil B has created an outcome in which her ideas have been adapted and refined to exploit the
possibilities of colour, pattern and texture.
Next steps
To progress, Pupil B needs to:
■ incorporate all the elements of drawing (line, tone, colour, pattern, texture) when making studies
■ take greater care over the use of, tone, colour, pattern and texture in each medium used.

Context
In this project, pupils took fish as their theme, looking at how they can be used decoratively and symbolically.
Learning in the project was enriched by working with the biology and English departments.
In this sequence of activities, pupils reworked their ideas and designs based on fish to create a clay relief
panel.
