Electronic visual diary
In this electronic record of her work during the project
Pupil E shows her enthusiasm and willingness to
experiment. In the detail of the text she uses words to
inform and add layers of meaning to her visual work.
Assessment commentary
Pupil E’s journal shows that she has directed her own creative practice and independently developed her
drawing and presentation skills. She has understood that the everyday can produce creative opportunities for
developing a personal visual landscape. She had a very committed and independent approach to completing
her diary. In her journal she explains how the work of Mary Bero has influenced her own work and shows her
recognition of the conventions used by Bero.
Understanding art, craft and design:
Pupil E’s journal shows that she has recognised that the iconography of contemporary culture can be
used to inform creating and making. She has understood the visual expression of issues and ideas
personal to herself and used this to convey meaning to others. She has confidently used different
contemporary styles and media to inform her own judgements and values, and explained her
understanding of these. In class discussion she evaluated how individual experience and cultural
context shape what artists make and do. She has also investigated personal issues in relation to
contemporary culture and context.
Exploring and investigating:
Pupil E has identified and purposefully pursued ideas and approaches that lead to imaginative and
original responses. This is shown in her visual journal.
Creating art, craft and design:
Pupil E has explored a range of subject matter and media and developed further skills and techniques from
her own experiences and experiments. She has applied these skills to produce imaginative, original,
confident and purposeful images.
Next steps
To progress, Pupil E needs to:
■ further explore cultural references where text and textiles can be used in art (this could be done in her
work journal)
■ continue to practise and experiment by combining different materials and approaches.
