Year 10 and 11 Crammers-Artefact Assessment

Mrs Hill and I have spent some time looking over your sketchbooks, and have agreed that a large number of you have not completed the amount of work that we would have expected of you by this stage. You have already had a lot of guidance on this, but just to make 100% sure you know whats expected of you we will be providing feedback on the work you have already completed, and advising you of what you need to finish. 

Those of you who's work I have already marked, I will aim to provide you with extra feedback in your lesssons this week. 

Please note, the list of work we are asking you to complete is what you must do AS A MINIMUM to get mark A for Artefact, if you fail to complete the tasks set, you run the risk of failing the unit.  Here is the list of work you need to complete:

Element	Recommended length
Experiments with materials – felt making	At least 2 pages describing the process with photographs and/ or felt examples
A description of the shoe making industry in the C19th – including information on the various processes involved.	At least 2 pages with photographs of shoe making tools and annotation.
Research into the shoe fashion industry today focusing on at least one designer.	At least 2 pages, with illustrations.
Information on your chosen Wymondham business	At least 2 pages – including fliers/ photographs/ illustrations
Mood boards, exploring  ideas linking shoes to your business	At least 2 pages
Experimentation and design ideas	You should produce at least 2 different designs with suggested materials and annotation discussing links to your business – you may include your ‘mock up’ paper shoe.
Information on your visit to Florida Shoes , with a description of the processes used today in shoe manufacture, their market and designs and differences between the industry in the C19th and now.	With photographs this should be about 4 pages long.
Description of your creative process, including a health and safety checklist (re.materials and processes you wish to use)	A page for every lesson you are creating – must include photographs

Work completed on your blogs may need to printed off for examination purposes, but I have taken the blog work into account and have provided feedback on these too.

Please, if you have any questions, come and see me!

Bye for now,

Year 10 Some home truths........

Ok Crammers....

I have been looking through your blogs and some of you will struggle to pass the Artefact/Campaign Units unless to get a handle on what is required of you. It's not as if you haven't been told/had guidance.

I will be popping in to your lesson with Mrs Pinnington on Tuesday to speak with a couple of you who are seriously behind with their work.....if necessary I will be make calls to home schools and parents.

The next session you have with me will be devoted entirely to catching up ( or developing) your blogs. Ensure you have your green note books with you.......and your sketchbooks.

I will also be expecting to see your homework during that session...SO JUST TO RE-CAP:

You need to write a short paragraph about what you learned from Jackie Heffer-Cooke's VIDEO JOURNAL session. You also need to plan out a format for a video journal for either the Artefact or Campaign Unit. It would be useful to include ideas for interview questions, ideas for actuality footage etc.
