Art Textiles – What is it? What will we do? How are we assessed?

Component 1: PortfolioWhat's assessedA portfolio that in total shows explicit coverage of the four assessment objectives.

How it's assessed• No time limit• 96 marks• 60% of GCSENon-exam assessment (NEA) set and marked by the school/college and moderated by AQAduring a visit.

Component 2: Externally set assignmentWhat's assessedStudents respond to their chosen starting point from an externally set assignment paper relatingto their subject title, evidencing coverage of all four assessment objectives.

How it's assessed• Preparatory period followed by 10 hours of supervised time• 96 marks• 40% of GCSE

What projects do we do?

Year 9

Project 1 – Natural Forms Project 2 – Weaving ProjectProject 3 – Tea Party Project

As each AO is worth 25% - you must ensure you cover all of them equally. You need to know what work will cover which objectives.

You should also have a good mix of Primary research (photos / drawings you have done yourself) and Secondary research (images

and information from the internet or books)

AO1 – Develop ideas through research

AO2 – Refine work by experimenting

• Theme mind map• Mood Board• Designer Analysis • Evaluations of work inspired

by designers• Photographs• Observational drawings

• Experiment with a range of different Textile Techniques

• Samples should be approximately A5 in size and include an evaluation

• You should produce a sample for each piece of research you conduct and make links between them

AO3 – Record ideas using observational

drawings and explanation

AO4 – Present a final piece

• Observational drawings• Design pages• Annotation to explain ideas• Analysis of designers work• Evaluations of your samples

and design ideas• Using CAD to record ideas

• Your final piece should be a personal response to all of your research and development work.

• You final piece could be:• An item for home furnishing • A fashion/costume piece • An accessory such as a hat or

scarf• A bag or textile container • A textile panel.

Assessment

Assessment

All of your work will be marked according to how well you have met the 4 Assessment Objectives. Each AO is worth 25% of the

grade for that project.

AO1 - RESEARCH – ARTISTS, TRIPS/VISITS & SOURCES OF INSPIRATIONDevelop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources

AO2 - EXPERIMENTS WITH MEDIARefine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes.

AO3 - OBSERVATIONAL DRAWINGS, EXPLANATIONS & USE OF MEDIARecord ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.

AO4 - FINAL IDEA & FINAL PIECE, LINKS WITH ARTISTSPresent a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language
