Art Key Stage 4

What we learn in KS4 Art

Students will develop their confidence in the subject through their design portfolio, in which they will demonstrate the design process from start to finish. Students will learn how to work and research independently, be introduced to a wide range of artists and designers and produce a personal and meaningful outcome which matches their brief.

Autumn Term

(Sep-Dec)

Component 1 – Personal Investigation 

Students will begin to develop their sustained project for Component 1 which is worth 60% of their final grade.They will be introduced to a number of themes / starting points and must select ONE of these. In the first half term they will chose one artist to research and create some experiments in the style of this artist.

Component 1 – Personal Investigation 

Now students are in Year 11 they will review the progress they have made against the assessment objectives and will develop their own ‘half term plan’ to ensure that they have enough evidence for each to meet or exceed their target grade. This half term students may need to do more research, further experimentation or refinement, record their ideas or present purposeful responses to their intentions.

Spring Term

(Jan-April)

Component 1 – Personal Investigation 

Students will continue to develop their portfolio by experimenting in the style of their chosen artists and craftspeople. This half term they will focus heavily on recording their ideas, observations and insights through annotation, drawings and photos as their work progresses.

Component 2 – Externally Set Assignment 

The externally set assignment paper is issued to students at the beginning of Jamurary. They will choose ONE starting point from a number of briefs set by the exam board. This section of work is worth 40% of their final GCSE grade. They will begin researching the work of artists and craftspeople, experimenting and refining ideas and recording ideas and observations to demonstrate an engagement with this starting point.

Summer Term

(May-July)

Component 1 – Personal Investigation 

This half term students will start to become more independent with their choice of tasks. They will begin to make independent decisions about how they spend lesson and homework time while continuing to work within the parameters of the four assessment objectives.

Component 2 – Externally Set Assignment 

Students will continue to work within the parameters of the four assessment objectives and will ensure they have gathered as much evidence as possible to ensure they meet or exceed their target grade. It is likely that their 10 hours of supervised time will take place in May, during this time they must demonstrate that they have realised their intention and present a personal and meaningful response.
