A Level Art

Assessment

The A Level grade for Art & Design is made up of 60%. Personal Investigation and 40% Externally Set Task. Homework is marked weekly and at the end of each project, a final mark will be given. All work is marked in line with the exam board’s four assessment objectives (AO): AO1 Develop ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding. AO2 Explore and select appropriate resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops. AO3 Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions, reflecting critically on work and progress. AO4 Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and, where appropriate, makes connections between visual and other elements.
