BTEC National Certificate in Art and Design
As you know, your deadline is fast approaching.. but what does this mean and what will you be expected to do, say and produce before this day in order to get your rightfully owed assessment.
1. You will need to be prepared on the day to have your FINAL outcome completed.
* HINT:Think about how you would like this viewed by others.
2. You will need to know what your own work is about? why you created it? what inspired you? and how you have got to this final end point?
* HINT:These will be types of questions you will be asked about your art work.
3. You will have to talk about your work coherently and confidently, explaining about the CONCEPT of your idea and the CONTEXT your work should be approached and viewed in
* HINT:Make sure you make critical and contextual links to the work of others (studied) and further links to the theme (in this case Primitive Artefacts)
4. You will definitely need support work, sketchbook work and developmental ideas which support your final piece. These do not have to be fully completed by the set deadline BUT you will need to complete these, along with other set targets (tutors) by the final deadline.
* HINT: This will be a key time to include a comprehensive evaluation, further developmental ideas and a consolidation of thinking
5. Finally...this whole process is of benefit for you, as students, refer back to the assessment criteria, check what you will be assessed upon, how you can achieve this and how will you do so in the future.
* HINT:The more you question your own work and ideas, and the work of others the better you will be at understanding comments made towards you and your own art work.
You will be assessed on your crit and your final piece- try to think about what you are going to say before saying it. Use keywords, themes, ideas and creative approaches.
GOOD LUCK!
