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.

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.

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.

The National 4 Art & Design: Course

Verification of Art & Design National Qualifications

Main Aims of Approach Ensure continued credibility of Art & Design National Qualifications Facilitate the partnership approach of Curriculum for Excellence Share knowledge more widely about National Standards Increase confidence in assessment decisions Support flexible delivery of qualifications

Key Aspects Art & Design Verification will be undertaken using Visiting Verifiers Complete or interim evidence may be used for verification Verification will be undertaken by the Principal Verifier, Senior Team Leader and a team of approx 38 Visiting Verifiers

Key Aspects The range of outcomes are: Accepted Accepted* Not Accepted Principal Verifier (PV) will sample all reports/Outcomes during Round 1 Thereafter, where a centre is Accepted* or Not Accepted, the report/Outcome must be authorised by the PV Outcome feeds into the center's priority rating for the next year Follow-up action will be reviewed by PV Holds lifted once PV determines that the issue has been resolved Usual certification date deadline will apply

Verification Outcomes Accepted The approaches to assessment at that level are valid. The assessment judgements at that level are valid and reliable and consistent with the National Standards. Accepted* There are some recommended actions that relate to the approaches to assessment or the assessment judgements, but overall the assessment judgements are in line with National Standards (i.e. certification can proceed) Not Accepted indicates that either: the approach to assessment; and/or the centre’s assessment judgements Is not in line with national standards and that this warrants a hold being placed on certification until the required corrective action is taken and verified by SQA.

COURSE ASSESSMENT Marked at A-D UNIT ASSESSMENT Marked as pass/fail 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

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

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
