Hi everyone In this powerpoint I have broken down in easy straightforward student and teacher friendly language on how to create exceptional artist pages which demonstrate VISUAL and ANALYTICAL language. Assessment Objective 1: Develop ideas, Analyse, respond and demonstrate critical understanding: There are 27 slides: The first 13 slides are student artist sketchbook pages, which were graded in the top 2 bands, either confident or exceptional. Visual language/or an actual student study of the artist work is usually the key element which distinguishes the difference between A or A*. However: Critical understanding is still crucial, we as educators have to encourage our students to read about their artists so they can gain knowledge and learn about their artists in depth. There are many different writing frames/help sheets in this presentation because we have students of different abilities and therefore they need different help sheets. I hope that you find this powerpoint visually inspiring and useful in encouraging your students to create confident and exceptional artist pages Thank you

A key aspect students struggle with is how to annotate their sketchbook pages, whether it is an artist image or their own work.
