1. Gathering, recording, research, and investigation
I have a clear mind map
My project has a clear beginning point
I have looked at an appropriate artist – I can explain why, and why I chose specific works.
I have evidence of websites, books, videos, publications – anything you looked at.
My evidence supports the ideas on my sheet. This is obvious and clear.
I have recorded from direct observation/from other sources. This work is detailed and accomplished.

2. Exploration and developing of ideas
I can clearly see my first ideas (they are different to my final ideas).
There is a clear link between research images and my work. I have used my research to help me.
My work has changed (improved) as it has developed. I have explain how.
I have explained why my work needed the changes that I have made.

3. Organisation and relationships of visual and/or other forms
I have organised my work clearly and imaginatively – I have made clear design choices that make sense.
The way my worksheet looks helps explore the question.
My idea is clear and easy to follow – it is not getting lost.
I have thought about how to make the design of my worksheet even better, and then done it.
My images, clear ideas, carefully written explanations, and presentation use the wprksheet space in an imaginative way.
I have judged my own work and worked out areas to change or improve – I have made clear changes now, and some I will make in my final piece. I have explained this.

4. Selection and control of materials, media and processes
I have included quality evidence that I have experimented with different media. I have explained how I did this.
I have used some of the following : Pencil, biro, pen and ink, charcoal, pastels, pencil crayons, wax crayons, felt tips, printing, mono-printing, sponging, watercolour, acrylic, oil, collage, mixed media, sculpture, relief, photoshop, illustrator. I have explained why I used these.
The materials I used are all to do with the question I answered.
I have experimented – I have used the results of these experiments to change and improve my ideas.
I have decided how to improve or change my work and used different materials/media to help me

5. Personal vision and presentation
I have explained my final ideas carefully and using correct keywords. My writing supports the images and adds to them.
I can clearly explain the links between my final work and the images that I have looked at and the influences of my chosen artist.
I can discuss the themes in my work, and the style of my work, and I can relate this to my research.
I have clearly identified areas in which I have done well, and areas that I need to improve – these are things that I will do in my final piece.
I can clearly express my opinion about the artwork that I have produced for this project, and I can use specialist vocabulary to explain my ideas and artistic choices.

6. Overall mark and comments
