Animation with music
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 these activities, pupils worked with the music and IT departments to make a digital animation of paper
structures they had created with their own music compositions.

Assessment commentary
Pupil F has produced work that is original and exciting. She has combined a number of technical processes
(paper sculpture, photography, video and sound) with confidence and skill. She has built on knowledge she
gained earlier in the project and developed her own ideas enthusiastically, creatively and intuitively. She has
reviewed and modified her work as it progresses and taken risks, rejected ideas that do not work and
selected ideas that have potential.
Creating art, craft and design:
Pupil F has freely and independently experimented with and combined approaches, materials and
processes, including new technologies. Using photo and video editing software, she has created a short
animation with her own digital images of her paper structure and her own music composition. She has
confidently developed and applied her technical skills and understanding at all stages.
Next steps
To progress, Pupil F needs to:
■ extend her ideas by considering her paper structure in terms of scale, considering how might it be further
developed as a large-scale sculpture.
