  2. Unit Support Guidance on minimum requirementsExamples of possible Unit structure

  3. There is a minimum amount of artwork required to achieve the Assessment Standards for the National 4 and National 5 Art & Design: Expressive Activity Units • 3 drawings/studies • 2 development ideas • Within the above there should be a • minimum of 2 media used. EVALUATION Demonstrate awareness of basic strengths and weaknesses in the work. Show evidence of reflection and creative decision-making.

  4. There is a minimum amount of artwork required to achieve the Assessment Standards for the National 4 and National 5 Art & Design: Design Activity Units • Produce relevant investigative material and examples of design work (market research). • 2 development ideas EVALUATION Distinguish between successful and less successful ideas Show evidence of reflection and creative decision-making. Evaluative comment could appear as annotations on the development work or during discussions with the assessor.

  5. The National 4 Art & Design: Added Value Unit Outcome 1 ‘Plan how to adapt and refine the idea to express the theme/stimuli’. ‘Reflection: 50 to 80 words or equivalent could be sufficient to meet this requirement’. Garden still-life. I started by wanting vegetables and man-made objects in my picture together. I wanted to show contrast with these things. I used watercolours because I can be neat and I can get lots of different colours. I chose the yellow fabric for the background to make the things stand out. I like the way I made the watering can look like metal. I should have added more tomatoes to make the picture more colourful.

  6. The National 4 Art & Design: Added Value Unit Outcome 2 ‘Plan how to adapt and refine the idea and how to produce an effective solution’. ‘Reflection: 50 to 80 words or equivalent could be sufficient to meet this requirement’. Outdoor Clock Design I wanted my design to be based on something natural and organic. I eventually chose to develop the image of an insect and simplify it. I like my design because it looks modern and unusual at the same time. This would make it appeal to more people who would like to see it in their town centre. I would make it better by increasing the size of the actual clock-face and include numerals. This would make the design more practical.

  7. The National 4 Art & Design: Course (expressive work) Garden still-life. I started by wanting vegetables and man-made objects in my picture. I wanted to show contrast with these things. I used watercolours because I can be neat and I can get lots of different colours. I chose the yellow fabric for the background to make the things stand out.

  25. COURSE ASSESSMENT Marked at A-D These 2 images were taken from the study of Van Gogh for Outcome 1. They help clarify the context for the Course Assessment but do not contribute to the marks. UNIT ASSESSMENT Marked as pass/fail

  26. Development stage: There are 36 marks available for this Section. This part of the portfolio provides evidence of the further development of a single line of expressive enquiry and the candidate’s ability to show a considered response to an expressive theme/stimuli. ♦ Further development of the original expressive idea (0-12 marks) ♦ Demonstrating a considered response to developing their expressive theme/stimuli (0-12 marks) ♦ Applying the visual elements effectively to communicate their understanding of the expressive theme/stimuli (0-12 marks)

  27. Expressive artwork: final piece There are 36 marks available for this Section.

  31. COURSE ASSESSMENT Marked at A-D These 3 images were taken from the study of ‘Creative Packaging’ for Outcome 1. They help clarify the context for the Course Assessment but do not contribute to the marks. UNIT ASSESSMENT Marked as pass/fail

  32. Development stage: There are 36 marks available for this Section. This part of the portfolio provides evidence of the further development of a single line of design enquiry and the candidate’s ability to show a considered response to the requirements of the design brief. ♦ Further development of the original design idea (0-12 marks) ♦ Demonstrating a considered response to the opportunities and requirements of the design brief (0-12 marks) ♦ Using design elements effectively in response to the design brief requirements (0-12 marks)

Marks will be awarded for: ♦ Maintaining visual continuity with the original idea and development work and demonstrating a creative response to the design brief/design area requirements (0-12 marks) ♦ Demonstrating effective refinement and realisation of the final design solution (0-24 marks) Evaluation: There are 8 marks available for this Section. In the design evaluation the candidate will reflect on and evaluate their design solution against the requirements of the design brief/design area. Marks in the evaluation will be awarded for: ♦ Explaining the choice and use of design materials, techniques and technology and function /purpose as appropriate with reference to the design brief requirements (0-4 marks) ♦ Expressing supported personal opinions on the effectiveness of their design solution with reference to the design brief requirements (0-4 marks)

  34. To Conclude……. • Units are assessed Pass/Fail by centres and subject to External Verification by SQA • Standards remain the same as for previous qualifications • Assessors indicate formally when a candidate has passed each Assessment Standard and keep the evidence available for External Verification • External Verification focusses on a centre’s assessment judgements: are they valid and in line with National Standards? • Verifiers only look at Unit assessment work and the centre’s assessment of that work

  35. To Conclude……. • External Verification is intended to be supportive – colleagues should see it as a positive experience which contributes to maintaining national standards and the integrity of Art & Design • Centres should not include any Course Assessment with Unit work presented to Verifiers • Relevant contextual evidence from Units may be included with the Course Assessment evidence • Contextual evidence does not contribute to the marks given to Course Assessment work • Centres should NOT send Units along with Course Assessment work
