Art & Design – TEXTILES (assessed for Entry 2)
Example task: A puppet character for a new children’s T.V. Show called 'Animal Antics'.
AC1.1 Select references and resources to support textiles work.
Pupil has selected appropriate references and noted resources to be used.
AC1.2 Respond to observations and experiences relating to a task or theme.
There is no evidence of this in the work. Responses to this criteria could be carried out visually,
orally or in written form.
AC1.3 Make references to artists, craftspersons and / or designers.
Although there are examples of work by unnamed puppet makers, this area could be expanded
further.
AC2.1 Use materials, tools and basic techniques appropriate to textiles.
This is an area that needs attention. There is very little evidence of materials, tools and
techniques appropriate to textiles being used in the development of ideas for a textiles outcome.
AC2.2 Use visual elements in practical work, such as: colour; pattern; texture; line;
shape; form; space; tone.
The visual elements colour, texture, shape and form, which are particularly important within
textiles, could have been explored fully within the development. However, they were only
covered in a limited way during the making of the final outcome.
AC2.3 Develop ideas for
a textiles outcome.
This is an AC that needs
attention as there is no
evidence of the
development of ideas apart
from the two drawings
illustrating the final
design.
Some changes of thought
and modifications may have
occurred during the making
process for the final outcome
and these could have been
documented by means of
photographic evidence.
AC3.1 Produce an outcome in response to a task of theme using textiles processes.
AC3.2 Present a textiles outcome.
Both these ACs have been well covered in the
final outcome.
General Comments
A very good resolved outcome which even displays the level of refinement
required for Entry 3.
Overall however, the work in its present form would not fulfil the assessment
criteria for Entry 2.
More personal responses are needed in AC1.2 but as already highlighted the
main areas of concern with this pupil are development at AC2.1, AC2.2 and
AC2.3, all of which should have provided evidence of the candidates ability
to develop ideas through the medium of textiles.
