For this unit you should start by reviewing the documents below. Read the 'partially completed unit plan' carefully, it has some links you can follow. You will also find the links to investigate contemporary artists useful that are posted on the Grade 12 page.
The task:
The task:
- Research art that creates awareness, promotes change, asks questions and/or records the past or present, or predicts the future. Present this investigation on your website
- Make sure you comment on the role of the selected art in its original context.
- The critical analysis of one or two art works related to the research - use the 'Analysing Artwork' document as you did before.
- If you can analyse two artworks you can then note similarities and differences between them ( com[pare and contrast) - there are some exemplars of this sort of comparison on the Grade 12 page.
- This time feel free to place more emphasis on your response to the artworks you investigate - as you discover art and artists relate it to prior knowledge.

Grade 10 – MYP 5
You have successfully completed at least 2 units that prepare you for the e-assessment unit. You all understand how to structure the evidence required, how to analyse art works, and how to show connections between your work and that of other artists.
The headings we are given may differ slightly from the criteria we are used to but what the ask for is essentially the same.
Summative assessment tasks – E assessment unit 2017
Task 1 – Presentation
An individual presentation, using concepts and subject-specific terminology, of:
- Research into art that creates awareness, promotes change, asks questions and/or records the past or present, or predicts the future.
- The role of the selected art in its original context.
- The critical analysis of one or two art works related to the research.
You will present your investigation as part of a ‘page’ of your website – it is important this time to comment on how the work you are analysing functioned/was experienced in its ‘original context’.
You have experience of analysing artworks and can use the same format to give your presentation structure.
NB: if you are actually submitting work for the e-assessment this year you will need to adhere to the following:
Please note that links to websites or videos are not permitted. Students should submit screenshots, screencasts or video files. There is a list of file types acceptable for submission at the end of this document.
Task 2 – Proposal
A selection of process journal extracts to show:
- The development of the student’s artistic intention.
- Demonstration of a range and depth of creative-thinking behaviours.
This is where your ‘journal’ or ‘on-going reflection’ is important. They want evidence or your thinking and how it changes as your understanding deepens. We can write statements about our intention and refine these as our project develops. We can show evidence of mind-mapping to show we are considering alternatives, we can be open to experiment and ensure we ask ourselves ‘what if?” on a regular basis. The key here is to show EVIDENCE.
Task 3 – Process and Product
Process: A selection of process journal extracts to show:
- A minimum of three examples of skills and techniques acquired and developed to show the progression of work.
- The exploration of artistic ideas.
- Observation drawing – using experimental approaches to drawing materials that somehow ‘fits’ the idea of your project.
- Photography and manipulating these as part of your process
- Print-making – either heading for this being a final product or as part of an experiment with some of the imagery you have gathered relating to your idea.
This doesn’t mean you are not free to go ‘deep’ into one medium – you could show the stages of your gaining mastery of oil paints for instance.
Product:
- The student’s artwork that creates awareness, promotes change, asks questions and/or records the past or present, or predicts the future.
Obviously we are aiming for something that actually ‘works on’ our audience – you could even find ways to ‘market research’ the effectiveness of your work. The product should be ambitious and impressive……
Task 4 – Commentary
A commentary that includes:
- Evidence of the use of acquired knowledge to inform the development of the student’s artwork.
- Evidence of the student’s ability to construct meaning and transfer learning into his or her artwork.
- The artistic response and the way in which it reflects or impacts on the world.
- A critique of the student’s own artwork including its ability to creates awareness, promotes change, asks questions and/or records the past or present, or predicts the future.
Submission of the ePortfolio
You are allowed to submit video and/or audio for the e-assessment. If you are not submitting you could still embed these sorts of files on your website if you choose.
For the ‘pages’ these can be screen shots, PPTs, word docs – you DO NOT have to do this if you are not submitting – the webpage is fine. For students who are submitting the file types and sizes are here below:-
File type:
Maximum file size
Text file (DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF, TXT)
50 Mb
Audio file (AAC, M4A, MP3)
60 Mb
Video file (F4V, FLV, M4V, MOV, MP4)
500 Mb
Image file (JPG, GIF)
5 Mb
To get a 7 these descriptors must be true of the work you submit :-
The student:
- demonstrates excellent knowledge and understanding of the role of the art form in original and displaced contexts; develops insightful critiques of artwork; uses knowledge to purposefully and effectively inform artistic decisions
- consistently demonstrates a clear, imaginative and coherent artistic intention; demonstrates a range and depth of creative thinking behaviours and demonstrates a full and extensive practical exploration of ideas; acquires, develops and applies a range of skills and techniques effectively to create or present artworks
- constructs meaning with depth and insight, and effectively transfers learning to new settings; creates excellent artistic responses which purposefully intend to reflect or impact the world.

- Ensure all work you intend to show is framed and ready to go.
- Write labels – these give the following information
Title: Calibri 14pt italic bold
Media: Calibri 14pt
Description: brief ( 500 characters) overview of what the piece is about/your thinking when making the work
3. Grow goatee beard – all artists have one of these, and a beret.
4. Make sure your website is ready to share with the world!
5. Invite friends and family to your opening 17.00-18.00 16th April
FAQs:
How many pieces do I show?
As many as three max - one minimum.
Can I frame my work myself?
If you want to have pieces professionally framed that is fine, but plan your timing so that the work is here on 13th so I can hang it over the weekend of 14/15th.
Do I have to attend the exhibition?
Yes please – art work is inert without an audience – this is when we see how successful we have been in our use of visual language.
Will I be expected to talk to the people attending the show?
Of course, you should be interested in getting feedback, if nothing else to receive compliments on your beret and goatee
If I need to show a projection or video what should I do?
Tell Mr. Keys so he can organise this with the tech support team- as soon as possible please.
Can I document the art show and include it in a reflection in which I discuss the feedback I get from visitors about my work?
It is a good idea and would certainly address your ability to respond to critique ( Criterion D: Responding)
Is the art work I have made this year mine, can I sell/give it to people?
Yes the work is yours, if you want to sell it then it is between you and the buyer ( cost of materials, plus at least 5 OMR per hour it took to make it, double this – your starting figure)
What happens to my work after the show?
Exhibitions take a lot of time to put up and very little time to take down. It will all come back to the art room.
Is the art course over after the exhibition?
No, but shortly afterwards some of you will be starting study leave so this is a good time to have the show.
