Information for Year 11 pupils getting ready for the Course work deadline...

Here is a gentle reminder of the Assessment criteria and a simplified check list. You need to ensure all work (sketchbook and final piece) is ready for the end of January. Remember to ENJOY your creative journey, use the time you have left and be productive. Avoid panicking, if you get stuck ASK FOR HELP, look for inspiration and use the Art room at breaks, lunches, after school.

Set up your own studio space at home, take your book / work home as much as possible and e-mail me in the holiday if you have any questions. I’m here to support you.
