Overview of Assessment

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge. Your ability to relaise thematically connected digital artworks will be assessed by:

  • Direct observation of digital imaging work in progress, including exploration of and experimentation with techniques
  • Questioning and discussion about your intentions and the work outcome
  • Verbal and written reports
  • Review of visual journal by teacher/assessor against specified criteria
  • Review of digital folder
  • Review of folio of digital images by a group of teachers/assessors
  • Review of presentations
  • Observation (with questions and answers).
