(Year 12 work then
goes towards Year 13
coursework)
3. Throughout year 12 you will be introduced to the
different art disciplines through a series of
workshops. You will be set assignment tasks based
on these workshops, all based around one theme.
For each art discipline you will be expected to use
your own initiative, research artists, primary
images, take good quality photographs and
annotate and review your work.
We are here to guide you, and you are privileged to
have 3 teachers that specialise in different art
disciplines, but we will not do the work for you.

a body of work including recording observations, media
experimentation, developing ideas and a final piece.

5. Getting a good grade is only possible by covering all of the marking criteria. You
can be the most talented artist there is but if you do not have the sketchbook
and work to back up your final pieces you will get very few marks.
You must cover all of the assessment criteria above to get the marks and achieve a good grade.

up to you how you interpret this title. It may be that you are going on holiday
and use this as your inspiration or it could simply be taking photographs
around your home. Think carefully about your subject matter, colour and
composition.
2. From your photographs create a series of A5 drawings.
3. Go to two Art exhibitions over the summer. Take photographs (if you can),
collect leaflets and create drawings. These can go in your sketchbook in

8. Your Sketchbook …
Your sketchbook should be a place for being creative! You will explore ideas with sketches, samples,
experiments, Artist’s work and photos relevant to your topic.
Some important things to have in
your sketchbook
Observational studies from real objects
Your own photographs, as evidence of
your primary research.
Experiments with a range of different
media
Planning for final pieces
Presentation: Don’t paint ANY pages with
poster or acrylic paint – this ends up looking messy and really distracts from the artwork on the page.
Do add bits of coloured paper, magazines, newspaper or use watercolour to add colour to the pages. When
adding colour to a page make sure it is relevant to the topic.
11. This week……

images, photographs sketches and your opinions
