Assessment commentary
Pupil F has developed her ideas and technical skills, experimenting and engaging with these in a sustained
way.
Exploring and investigating:
Pupil F has shown that she understands the creative process. She has investigated the properties of
materials with enthusiasm and imagination. She has experimented with sewing techniques (hand and
machine) and scrunched, woven, layered, punched, burned and combined paper with other materials
(wire, fabric, acetate).
Creating art, craft and design:
Pupil F has freely and independently experimented with many techniques. She has manipulated paper to
create and combine rich textures and different effects of light and shadow.
Next steps
To progress, Pupil F needs to:
■ consider other sources of inspiration that might move her exploration in new directions.
Paper structures and photography
Context
This work was part of an extended project on the theme of light and shadow, in which pupils studied the work
of the artists Christian Boltanski, Sue Webster, Cornelia Parker and Tim Noble before conducting their own
art experiments.
In this sequence of activities, pupils made their own structure in paper and then experimented with
photography to create light (including coloured light) and shadow effects.
