Externally set assignment (ESA) – Digital sketchbook journey 10-12 weeks
Overview
Pupils will receive an externally set question paper from AQA at the beginning of January. It will list possible starting points to inspire their individual projects. The rest of the term is used to complete sketchbook preparation, covering AQA Art & Design’s assessment objectives in a similar way to their previous coursework projects.
All preliminary written work, photoshoots, edits, physical outcomes etc., will be presented for examination with the completed ‘examination piece’, which is likely to be a series of related images, or some constructed digitally edited scenes. Each pupil will decide on the type of response they wish to make from the choice of starting points/stimuli.
Cultural Capital: Arts, learning through the artwork of others, life skills (drawing)
