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.
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.
