Fine Art

Overview

Fine Art is defined here as the practice of creating work that is primarily for aesthetic, intellectual or purely conceptual purposes, rather than purposes that have a necessarily practical function.

• Learners must explore, acquire and develop skills, knowledge and understanding through the application of techniques and processes specific to their chosen area(s) of study of Fine Art.

• Learners must explore practical and relevant critical and contextual sources such as the work of historical and contemporary fine artists and the different purposes, intentions and functions of fine art as appropriate to their own work.

• Learners must demonstrate the knowledge, skills and understanding through area(s) of study relevant to Fine Art

Areas of Study

Learners are required to work in one or more area(s) of Fine Art, such as those listed below. Combinations of these areas are also possible:

• Drawing

• Installation

• Lens-/Light-based Media

• Mixed-media

• Land art

• Printing

• Painting

• Sculpture

Component 1 – Portfolio - (60%)

This is completed from September in year 10 until January in year 11.

Students produce a portfolio of practical work showing their personal response to a set starting point, brief, scenario or stimulus. The portfolio may be presented in appropriate formats for the specification title they are following and chosen area of study, including sketchbooks, digital presentations, mounted sheets, maquettes, prototypes, animated work, scale models or illustrated written work.

The portfolio must provide evidence that the student has met all four assessment objectives.

ALL work produced from the start of Y10 until January in Y11 is the Portfolio (previously referred to as coursework).

Component 2 – Externally Set Task (EST) – (40%)

This is from January in year 11 until the 10 hour exam.

Students respond to one of five themes, each with a range of written and visual starting points and stimuli. Students research, plan and develop ideas for their response to the option they have chosen, which they must then realise within the ten-hour supervised time period.

Assessment Objectives

There are four Assessment Objectives in OCR GCSE (9–1) in Art and Design. These are detailed in the table below.

All are equally weighted at 25% each.

AO1

Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources.

AO2

Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes.

AO3

Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses.

AO4

Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.
