Art & Design – PAINTING and DRAWING (Assessed for Entry 3)
Example Theme: Fashion
AC1.1 Select a range of references and resources to support painting and drawing work.
The pupil has interpreted
the theme of fashion in a
very personal way.
Initially looking at armour
but then widening their
research to include other
aspects of warfare.
This is perfectly
acceptable.
AC1.2 Produce visual and / or tactile records of observations and experiences relating
to a task or theme.
This has been well covered with a number of examples.
AC1.3 Identify the influence of artists, craftspersons and / or designers on their own practice
There is clear evidence
that the pupil has been
influenced by the various
forms of weaponry and
architectural features
studied.
The pupil also makes
references to computer
game characters.
This aspect also forms
part of the overall work.
AC2.3 Develop ideas for a pictorial composition,
modifying work as needed.
The pupil has developed a number of imaginative
ideas including many complex plans for computer
games based on conflict.
AC3.1 Use painting and drawing processes to produce an outcome in response to a
task or theme.
AC3.2 Present a resolved painting and drawing outcome with some consideration of
refinement.
The pupil has produced a number of large compositions. This example in particular is full of
interesting detail and architectural features. It is apparent within this composition that the
pupil has developed the ability to use perspective to create a sense of depth.
General Comments
A thorough unit of work, well deserving an Entry 3.
The pupil has produced a large amount of very personal, imaginative work.
The initial theme of fashion has been developed into a broad range of ideas based on
armour, weapons, fortifications and fantasy landscapes.
Good use was made of sketchbooks and as well as imaginary compositions the
pupil explored many computer game ideas on the theme of conflict.

General Comments
Most of the work for this pupil is contained in a sketchbook. There are almost
seventy pages full of investigations into the theme of pattern. As well as
references to four or five different artists, the pupil has thoroughly explored
pattern in the world around her, both natural and man made. In a way the three
outcomes do not do the pupil justice as every page of the sketchbook contains
interesting, quality work. A clear Entry 3.
When submitting work like this for moderation, it should be remembered that
only a few examples of evidence for each AC are needed, so careful selection
is important.
