A working vocabulary and specialist terminology which is relevant to their chosen area of study.

ASSESSMENT Learners will be assessd 60% personal investigation (coursework) And 40% External set task (exam) AO 1 DEVELOP AO 2 EXPLORE AO 3 RECORD AO 4 PRESENT AO 1 DEVELOP = Learners will develop links to artist and demonstrate relevant and effective analysis and critical understanding AO 2 EXPLORE = Learners will explore the appropriate and relevant resourses, media materials and techniques AO 3 RECORD= Learners will record ideas , observations and insights relevant to intentions AO 4 PRESENT= Learners will produce a personal and meaningful response with appropriate realized ink to intentions.
