1. Gathering, recording, research, and investigation
I have a detailed 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 done some practical work based on what I researched.
I have evidence of researching from different sources – I havent just used the internet, I have visited a library, museum, gallery etc.
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).
I have developed initial ideas and observational drawings, by sketching different solutions.
I have taken my sketches and developed these further, trying out different media in the process
I have analysed the results of these explorations and made clear artistic decisions about what to do next
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 explained 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.
I have thought carefully about the composition of my final piece and I have tried out different ways of presenting the same idea.
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.
I have take photographs to help me explore my idea. I have printed these on photographic paper.
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
If I have done work on the computer, I have taken screenshots at each stage of the process, and I have explained what I’m doing.

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 have tried to make a piece of art that is personal to me, I have important ideas and I have expressed them as uniquely as possible.
I can discuss the themes and ideas 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
You must give yourself a mark out of 20 for each section.
A mark of 0 means there is no evidence.
A mark of 5 means that the work is limited.
A mark of 10 means the work is satisfactory.
A mark of 15 means the work is very good.
