Lesson details
Key learning points
- Materials have distinct qualities which influence the creation and impact of your final outcome.
- Materials and techniques should be assessed to establish if they align with an artwork's intended message or concept.
- Evaluating your proficiency with different techniques helps to identify areas requiring further practice or exploration.
- Using suitable vocabulary will help you communicate your ideas clearly and show that you understand the subject well.
Keywords
Evaluation - thinking about and giving your opinion on how well your work was made, what was learnt and what could be improved
Proficiency - the skill or ability to do something well, gained through practice and experience
Characteristics - the features or qualities that make something unique, like colour, texture, or appearance
Common misconception
I should talk about all of the visual elements and principles of art in my evaluation.
Select and describe only the areas that are relevant, but consider them all to see if you notice anything new. Sometimes you make work instinctively and don't realise until later what techniques or principles you actually applied.
Equipment
Recording materials as appropriate (pens, paper, word processing, voice recorders etc) and portfolios or sketchbooks of their work to review and consider.
