Virtual sketchbook
Context
This work was produced as part of an extended project exploring and celebrating the locality of the pupils’
school and their place in the community. Pupils studied the work of Grayson Perry and Keith Haring. During
the project they produced several pieces of work, including drawings and photographs, photocollages, an
animated film, digitally manipulated images and two-dimensional sculptures (which were exhibited in the
school).
Pupils compiled a virtual sketchbook during the course of their work on the project. The following 4 sample
pages are taken from the six completed.
Assessment commentary
Pupil C’s virtual sketchbook shows that he is selective when processing information and has used this to
take ideas forward. It also shows that he has worked effectively with a range of materials and techniques to
realise his ideas and intentions.
Understanding art, craft and design:
Pupil C has demonstrated an understanding of the sequential nature of the project and the key concepts
and processes that underpinned all the elements of the work. He has drawn on his understanding of art
to inform his own ideas, intentions and choices.
Next steps
To progress, Pupil C needs to:
■ make reasoned evaluations of the purpose and meaning of his own work and that of others
■ provide further evidence of an understanding of the cultural context, personal intentions and
effectiveness of artists studied
■ organise and prioritise key activities in evaluations, demonstrating an understanding of the effective use
of formal elements (for example, balancing pattern and colour).
