a coloured-light and shadow effect in her photograph of her
paper structure.
Light and shadow effect on paper
structure (3)
Pupil F cut holes of different shapes out of a
piece of card and placed it in front of a light
source to create a coloured-light and
shadow effect in her photograph of her
paper structure.
Assessment commentary
Pupil F has become a confident artist. She has tried out different ideas and adapted them to suit her
intentions. She has created an original piece of work that is informed by her contextual references (but not a
pastiche of them). She has worked independently and with others and is not afraid to take intuitive risks. She
has translated her ideas into a three-dimensional work and photographed it. She has understood the
importance of careful research and how a simple idea can evolve into different outcomes in a range of
media.
Exploring and investigating:
Pupil F has applied the knowledge and skills she gained earlier in the project to designing and
constructing a paper structure. She has selected the most successful techniques, materials and
processes and used them appropriately. She has experimented with different settings on a digital
camera and worked with a partner to try out different light sources, compositions and distances when
photographing. She has taken risks and learnt from her mistakes. She has selected images that work for
her and rejected those that disappointed her.
Next steps
To progress, Pupil F needs to:
■ continue collecting images, photographs and objects to feed and develop her work
■ challenge herself to explore a wider selection of ideas.
