 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 1 EXPLAINED:

Have you ef fectively incorporated research into your folio?

Have you included research that relates to:

- your concept
- the techniques you trialed in your folio
- the processes you used (relating to materials/techniques)

Have you followed your work plan and completed all research you
said you would?

Are your annotations relating to your research detailed and

informative?

Do those annotations explain how the research relates to your

concept, and how it has assisted you in your studio process?
 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 2:

Criteria:
Development of individual and personal subject matter, conceptual
possibilities and aesthetic qualities in the studio process as
discussed in the exploration proposal.

To receive a Ver y High (9-10):

Highly creative and insightful approaches in the sequential
development of a range of aesthetic and conceptual ideas and
subject matter comprehensively documented in a visual diar y.

development of personal imager y as described in the exploration
proposal. Progressive development of aesthetic and conceptual
ideas that have a ver y strong relationship to the exploration
proposal.
 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 2 EXPLAINED:

Do your explorations of subject matter, conceptual

possibilities (trials) and aesthetic qualities match what you
said you would investigate in your exploration proposal?

Do your trials show progression in your concept and

development. E.g. Have you continued to develop and refine
your ideas. Does the aesthetic of your trials show progression?

Have you discussed the effectiveness of your trials in your

annotations, and have you mentioned areas of improvement?

Have you then acted on those suggested areas of improvement

and further developed your trials?
 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 3:

techniques to communicate individual ideas and demonstrate
aesthetic qualities.

Have you written about the elements, principles and aesthetic
qualities in your annotations?
Have you underlined the elements, principles and aesthetic
qualities in your annotations to clearly show that you have
discussed them?
Have you incorporated a range of materials and techniques in
your trials?
Have you trialed the materials and techniques that you
discussed in your Exploration Proposal?
Do your trials clearly represent and relate to your concept?
Are your trials of a high standard and demonstrate your
technical ability?
 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 4:

Criteria:
Documentation of explorator y and developmental work, including
the clarification of ideas through the development, identification
and evaluation of potential directions.

To receive a Ver y High (9-10):

Comprehensively and highly informative annotations document the
identification, analysis and evaluation of the use of aesthetic
qualities and techniques throughout the studio process, and to
clarify individual ideas, through detailed annotation, in a visual
diar y. Comprehensive development and ver y clear identification of
a range of potential directions that provide substantial written and
visual material on which future artworks will be developed and
refined. Potential directions are evaluated both visually and in
writing, demonstrating ef fective, creative and innovative
approaches in the communication of concepts and ideas expressed
in the exploration proposal.
 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA 4 EXPLAINED:

Have you included a range of Potential Directions in your

folio?

Have you clearly labeled them as Potential Direction #1, #2

#3 etc?

Have you included Potential Direction write-ups?

In your Potential Direction write-ups, have you discussed:

- How you created your Potential Direction (materials/
techniques/process)
- How it relates to your concept
- Why it is a Potential Direction
- How youre going to develop/refine it if it becomes the basis
of one of your final artworks.
