1. Art & Design – Printmaking (assessed for Entry 2)
Example task: Make a print in the style of your favourite artist.

2. AC1.1 Select references and resources to support printmaking work.
AC1.2 Respond to observations and experiences relating to a task or theme.
AC1.3 Make references to the work of artists, craftspersons and / or designers.
The pupil has selected a limited number of
references to support their work.
Observational drawing and written
comments provide some evidence of a
personal response from the pupil.
Only one visual reference to the work of
artists, with some basic aspects of the
artist's style evident in the final outcomes.

3. AC2.1 Use materials, tools and techniques appropriate to printmaking.
The pupil has used a number of painting
and drawing techniques. However, apart
from the final outcomes, where two different
printmaking processes have been used,
there is no evidence of experimentation
with printmaking materials, tools and
techniques.
AC2.2 Use visual elements in
practical work, such as: colour;
pattern; texture; line; shape; form;
space; tone.
Line, colour and shape in particular, lend themselves
to this task and in view of the reference to the work of
Andy Warhol and subsequent outcomes, colour would
be especially important. More emphasis on this particular
element throughout the unit of work would benefit
outcomes.

4. AC2.3 Develop ideas for a printmaking outcome.
There is some evidence of the process of selection taking
place, however no real indication of where the final
Images for the prints come from. Development could also
have included different colour ways, which would have
linked well to the initial Andy Warhol reference 'Marilyn'.

5. AC3.2 Present a printmaking outcome.
AC3.1 Produce an outcome in response to a task or theme using printmaking processes.
AC3.2 Present a printmaking outcome.
The pupil has successfully completed two printmaking outcomes, a multi-coloured polystyrene press print and a linocut which has been repeated. They both demonstrate a response to the initial task.

6. General Comments
The two printmaking outcomes are successful. However, evidence for a number of
the AC's is thin and in the case of AC1.3 and AC2.3 very limited.
The main problem is the lack of experimentation with printmaking materials, tools
and techniques throughout the unit of work.
