I developed this over a number of years of trial and find this promotes a clear understanding of pupils knowing where they are. It is split into two, Unit 1 you can use 2 or 3 times as preferred and unit 2 for the externally set exam.
Peer Assessment Self Assessment Formative and Summative with the opportunity to show clear feedback to pupils to encourage progress.
I hope you enjoy.
This is the new levels and descriptors for AQA GCSE Art & Design. You can use it to create a Learning Wall as it is the essential objectives mix. My pupils pin their names on the wall for each objective when they are self and peer assessing.
it is layed out as follows:
Title - you decide on this, mine is GCSE Art & Design/Textiles
Sub Title: Mine is - What Grade am I?
Then under that along the top the 4 assessment objective descriptions
Down along the side edge the grades/marks
In the gaps then, the relevant assessment criteria.
It is all colour coded. You may need to refer to the new specification to put your criteria in the correct order.
I hope it saves you a lot of time! My display also includes my differentitated reflective learning Help Guide. Also included FREE for you in this pack.
Literacy maps are being utilised more and more within schools to assist pupil learning. I have created and adapted this one from various sources to make it subject specific. It is also in font 16 and on a green background making it user friendly for a variety of learning needs.

This project includes: The bones of a power point with: a project brief, suggested task list and prompts for final pieces. Lesson objectives are not included to give you autonomy. The visuals took me two days to compile. They include a variety of media examples (sourced freely from the internet, no copyright was apparent and the images are for inspiration and education only) linked with the elements and colour. In addition a number of the visuals have questioning prompts on them that you can use as discussion points and for peer assessment. The project looks at ‘parodies’ and is full of interesting ideas. I printed off 3 sets of each and had them laminated. I suggest using them in conjunction with a colour wheel and art literacy maps. The project also comes with an tracking sheet, you can offer feedback and show progress with this. It also has the project brief on it. I make folders and have pupils’ stick an A3 copy of this in that so it is large enough to be seen! It also link to the AQA assessment specification for clear marking. Many thanks.
Each element comes with high res images for your piupils to be inspired by and study, line, colour, observational drawing, texture…
