| Summative Assessment | A student’s Personal Portfolio of work must show evidence of all four interrelated Assessment Objectives. Students must therefore holistically show that they: |
| 1) Develop ideas through investigations, demonstrating critical understanding of sources (AO1) |
| 2) Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes (AO2) |
| 3) Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses (AO3) |
| 4) Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language (AO4). |
