GCSE Art students will be receiving the External Task sheets in January. This is an important, intensive period of the course, with the task accounting for 40% of their overall mark. These support documents provide the student and teacher with a structured guide to developing preparatory work that fully addresses the Assessment Objectives. A schedule shows the nature and timing of work between January and early April (The controlled assessment usually takes place in late April or early May.) Also included is a prompt sheet for analysing artwork and a step by step guide to developing a GCSE sketchbook. The theme of the sketchbook guide is "natural forms", but it can be adapted by the teacher or student to fit any question. ....... and finally, a collection of original photographs of plants which you and your students are free to copy, edit and use. The images might prove very useful to those students who struggle to collect their own images.
