Assessment commentary
Pupil F has responded enthusiastically to the
project and produced in-depth work of a high
standard. She has engaged readily with the work of
artists and has perceptively recognised how
personal ideas can be expressed using different
symbolic codes.
Understanding art, craft and design:
Pupil F has analysed, engaged with and critically questioned aspects of her own and others’ work. Her
commentary in her journal, as well as her participation in class discussions, shows that she can
confidently express reasoned judgements about her own and others’ work. Her judgements have been
based on an informed understanding of context and purpose. She has confidently expressed her ideas
and opinions and explained her work to others.
She has personally responded to the inspiration and recorded her experiences, discoveries and
understanding in collage, drawings and notes in her journal. She has linked her art project to other areas
of the curriculum, independently noticing light and shadow in a range of environments and situations, for
example when on a history trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum and around the school. She has
related her research to her own artwork.
She has understood the context and meaning of artwork and artefacts from different times and places,
for example Victorian cut outs and Moroccan lamps, and compared and contrasted these. Her
investigation of the work of other artists (Cornelia Parker, Christian Boltanski, Tim Noble and Sue
Webster) has inspired her to create her own experiments in the classroom. She has recorded these with
a digital camera.
