Assessment commentary<br />
Pupil E has confidently explored different techniques to produce original drawings. She has experimented by<br />
using a variety of approaches <strong>and</strong> learnt from this, forming <strong>and</strong> developing her own ideas.<br />
Exploring <strong>and</strong> investigating:<br />
Pupil E’s work shows that she has listened carefully to instructions <strong>and</strong> responded quickly <strong>and</strong> creatively.<br />
<strong>The</strong> teacher observed that she responded confidently to risk-taking drawing exercises. Pupil E has<br />
recognised that the immediate <strong>and</strong> spontaneous response called for in timed drawing can produce<br />
valuable unforeseen outcomes that do not depend on conventional drawing ability. <strong>The</strong> spontaneous<br />
nature of the exercise allowed her to successfully test <strong>and</strong> use a variety of materials <strong>and</strong> processes<br />
imaginatively, purposefully <strong>and</strong> creatively.<br />
Next steps<br />
To progress, Pupil E needs to:<br />
■ continue to explore new ways to create a richer surface texture <strong>and</strong> tonal variation, including the use of<br />
text<br />
■ continue to generate original ideas by experimenting with media combinations in her sketchbook <strong>and</strong><br />
analysing why some accidental discoveries have value.<br />
Visual diary<br />
Context<br />
This work was part of an extended project in which pupils explored their interests <strong>and</strong> environment. <strong>The</strong> aim<br />
was to explore mixed media to develop work on the theme of identity <strong>and</strong> self-image. Students studied the<br />
work of the artists Mary Bero to provide inspiration <strong>and</strong> a starting point for their own exploration.<br />
During the project pupils produced an electronic visual diary or journal to show their working process. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
wrote a commentary <strong>and</strong> included pictures of their own studies <strong>and</strong> the work of artists that had inspired them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diary also contained images of finished work <strong>and</strong> an evaluation of their success.<br />
Electronic visual diary<br />
In this electronic record of her work during the project Pupil E shows her enthusiasm <strong>and</strong> willingness to experiment. In<br />
the detail of the text she uses words to inform <strong>and</strong> add layers of meaning to her visual work.<br />
