GCSE Art - Course Guide

This is a course handbook guide for GCSE Art students (AQA exam board). I created this as a one stop resource for my students to use from the start of their GCSE Art course, right to the end. The document is editable so you can personalise it to your own department’s projects and add in the most up to date grade boundaries.

This 22 page booklet contains the following:

• Course content guide - explanation of units and assessment
• Art skills checklist
• Equipment & materials
• Health & safety
• Course overview
• Assessment objectives explained
• AQA marking criteria grid
• Marking & feedback guidance
• What makes an effective piece of art?
• Creative process flow chart
• Artist directory (artist names next to themes)
• Artist vocabulary list
• Annotation guidance
• Annotation writing frames
• Evaluation guidance
• Exemlplar work from top grade students
