Product evidence and written or recorded oral evidence, supported by an assessor observation checklist, is required to demonstrate that the candidate has achieved all Outcomes and Performance Criteria.

Candidates will produce a body of expressive work, in a series or sequence, throughout the Unit. This work will be generated through the study of single context or related contexts and the use of one or more selected media processes. Candidates might select from the areas of Portraiture, Figure Composition, Still Life, Natural Environment, Built Environment, or Fantasy and Imagination.

For assessment evidence, candidates will select, collate, organise and present work at a formal assessment review in a supervised environment. The work must include:
examples of analytical drawings or studies (or equivalent in three dimensional work) made directly from first-hand observation
examples of work demonstrating the use of media, materials, processes and colours/tone where appropriate
at least one study demonstrating the ability to construct an image using colours where appropriate
evidence of the use of different types of media
evidence of the development of considered images
evidence of some understanding of visual elements
examples of work that show the exploration and development of compositional ideas, experimentation with picture-making considerations (or three-dimensional equivalent), one of which suggests the intended final outcome.

An assessor checklist must be completed which records the candidate’s progress throughout the Unit. The centre must be satisfied that the evidence submitted for assessment is the candidate’s work. Although group work may be used a learning and teaching approach, any work which contributes to a candidate’s assessment evidence must be carried out on an individual basis to ensure authenticity.

The National Assessment Bank item (NAB) for this Unit illustrates the standard and provides exemplification of the type of work suitable for this level. An assessor checklist is included in the NAB. Centres wishing to develop their own assessments should refer to the NAB to ensure a comparable standard.

GUIDANCE ON LEARNING AND TEACHING APPROACHES FOR THIS UNIT
The candidate should have the opportunity to explore and consider appropriate areas of personal interest. This could include visiting outside agencies, galleries or exploring the Internet and communicating directly with artists.
The candidate should be offered opportunities to explore and work with a range of media and to select stimuli which reflect personal interest. They should consider and discuss the responses of others to similar stimuli and the ways in which others have used media to create effect. Through such activities, they should develop skill in making decisions about the significant formal elements inherent in or associated with both stimuli and themes and in recording these in visual or note form.
