1 VCE Studio Arts: Administrative advice for School-based Assessment in 2015 Unit 3 School-assessed Task 1 School-assessed Task 1 contributes 33 per cent to the study score and is commenced and completed in Unit 3. Teachers will provide to the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) through VASS a score against each criterion that represents an assessment of the student s level of performance for Unit 3 Outcomes 1 and 2. The recorded scores must be based on the teacher s assessment of the student s performance according to the criterion on pages This assessment is subject to the VCAA s statistical moderation process. The 2015 Studio Arts assessment sheet on page 7 is to be used by teachers to record scores. The completed assessment sheet for each student s School-assessed Task must be available on request by the VCAA. The performance descriptors for the assessment criteria are published annually on the Art study page on the VCAA website and notification of their publication is given in the February VCAA Bulletin. Details of authentication requirements and administrative arrangements for School-assessed Tasks will be updated annually and published in the current year s VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook. The School-assessed Task for Unit 3 has two components: Outcome 1 Exploration proposal Outcome 2 Design process. Outcome 1 Prepare an exploration proposal that formulates the content and the parameters of an individual design process, and that includes a plan as to how the proposal will be undertaken. Nature of task An exploration proposal should create a framework for an individual design process in which the student plans how their subject matter, ideas, aesthetics, materials and techniques will be explored and developed through the design process. The student s exploration proposal needs to be developed on an individual basis and personal and creative responses should be encouraged throughout the preparation. The teacher and student should negotiate the contents of the exploration proposal and the art form/s in which the work will be undertaken to ensure the student is working within the range of art form/s and facilities the school is able to offer. It is expected that the exploration proposal will be of a substantial length that comprehensively addresses the scope of the task. VCAA

2 VCE Studio Arts: Administrative advice for School-based Assessment in 2015 Scope of task The exploration proposal should include: an explanation of the focus and subject matter to be explored and developed in the design process. a discussion of the conceptual possibilities and an explanation of the ideas to be explored a description of the art form/s to be explored in reference to the ideas to be explored. a discussion of the sources of inspiration to be investigated an explanation of the aesthetic qualities to be explored in relation to ideas to be explored. an explanation of the appropriate materials to be explored in reference to ideas to be explored. an explanation of the techniques, processes and skills to be developed in reference to ideas to be explored. a plan for how the exploration proposal will be implemented. The area of exploration should be defined in the exploration proposal in enough breadth to allow for substantial exploration during the design process to facilitate the development of a range of potential directions. The exploration proposal should be developed prior to the commencement of the individual design process but may be expanded upon during the initial stages of the design process. However, it should be noted that the exploration proposal sets out the content and parameters of the student s future proposed work and is not a summary of what has been done. The exploration proposal should, where possible, be word processed and may be presented as an extended statement, a series of short paragraphs and may include dot points and visual reference material. This visual reference material may include illustrations, diagrams or images of other artists work as a means of clarifying ideas expressed in the exploration The visual reference material must be cited or appropriately acknowledged. If an exploration proposal is not presented a student has not satisfactorily achieved the outcome and is unable to score in Criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 of School-assessed Task 1 and should be assessed as NS (Not Shown) for these criteria. Outcome 2 Present an individual design process that produces a range of potential directions, which reflects the concepts and ideas documented in the exploration Nature of task The individual design process should consist of experimental and developmental work that clearly addresses aesthetic qualities, techniques and processes related to the student s individual ideas and subject matter defined in the exploration Students should use the exploratory and developmental stage to investigate, clarify and consolidate ideas. They should explore, develop and refine the application of techniques, the use of materials and the manipulation of visual and other elements related to their ideas, concepts and aesthetic qualities as outlined in the exploration Students undertake annotation throughout the individual design process to reflect, analyse and evaluate the experimental and developmental work and the refinement of ideas. Students should clarify their thinking and working processes via images and annotations throughout the design process. The annotation will identify and select aspects of the individual design process that will contribute to the production of a folio of artworks in Unit 4. All annotations and written documentation should use appropriate art language and terminology Students should fully acknowledge any borrowed visual or written material, with clear evidence, through annotations, of VCAA Page 2

3 VCE Studio Arts: Administrative advice for School-based Assessment in 2015 the relevance of this material to their own art making, and explain how it will inform the exploration and development of ideas and subject matter. Potential directions Potential directions should reflect and demonstrate approaches undertaken by the student to communicate ideas and concepts discussed in the exploration Potential directions are developed progressively, evolving from and throughout the individual design process and should be seen in this context rather than as finished The nature of the potential directions will vary according to the characteristics of individual art forms and may contribute in their entirety or in part to final Annotation throughout the design process should identify potential directions as part of the students process of evaluation. It should be noted that a range of potential directions is required and that the presentation of one potential direction does not satisfy the requirements for this task. At the completion of SAT 1 students should have presented a range of potential directions. From this range students must select and clearly identify and evaluate the potential directions that will be used to develop artworks in Unit 4 for the production of a cohesive folio. Students might select potential directions that: most effectively communicate concepts, ideas and aesthetics documented in the exploration proposal offer the opportunity to demonstrate an appropriate level of technical skill provide the appropriate qualities to support a cohesive folio of work. If students appropriate the visual or intellectual property of others, teachers must ensure that this is clearly acknowledged and that the use of such material does not constitute plagiarism or contravene copyright and licensing agreements. All images used in the design process should appear with evidence of their source and any development that clearly establishes the work as that of the student. The use of other artists aesthetic qualities should be carefully considered during the design process. Over-use or direct copying of aesthetics of others may not allow students to develop individually creative explorations. All developmental work should relate directly to the students individual ideas expressed in the exploration At the conclusion of Unit 3 it is expected that the students will have developed a range of potential directions. At the commencement of Unit 4 students select the potential directions that will be used to create finished artworks in a cohesive folio. Students may have access to Unit 3 potential directions when undertaking the School-assessed Task in Unit 4. Access to this exploratory work should be controlled and where possible take place under supervised conditions. Access should only be given to the exploratory work that is relevant to the production of a cohesive folio of finished artworks in Unit 4. VCAA Page 3

4 VCE Studio Arts: Administrative advice for School-based Assessment in 2015 Unit 4 School-assessed Task 2 School-assessed Task 2 contributes 33 per cent to the study score and is commenced and completed in Unit 4. Teachers will provide to the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) a score against each criterion that represents an assessment of the student s level of performance for Unit 4 Outcomes 1 and 2. The recorded scores must be based on the teacher s assessment of the student s performance according to the criteria on pages This assessment is subject to the VCAA s statistical moderation process. The 2015 Studio Arts assessment sheet on page 13 is to be used by teachers to record scores. The completed assessment sheet for each student s School-assessed Task must be available on request by the VCAA. Details of authentication requirements and administrative arrangements for School-assessed Tasks will be updated annually and publication of updated documents will be advised in the February VCAA Bulletin VCE, VCAL and VET and in the current year s VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook. The School-assessed Task 2 for Unit 4 has two components. Outcome 1 Folio Outcome 2 Focus, reflection and evaluation. Outcome 1 Present a cohesive folio of finished artworks, based on selected potential directions developed through the design process, that demonstrates skilful application of materials and techniques and that realises and communicates the student s ideas. Nature of task A cohesive folio of finished artworks, which demonstrates the refinement and resolution of themes, concepts, ideas, techniques and aesthetics explored and developed in the design process. The artworks should be presented in a manner appropriate to the art form/s. Finished artworks in the folio demonstrate: Realisation and communication of individual ideas. A connection of ideas between finished Application of materials, techniques and processes to support the resolution of ideas and aesthetic qualities. An understanding of the inherent characteristics of materials, techniques and processes and their relationship to the depiction of subject matter. Use of aesthetic qualities that contribute towards an interpretation of subject matter and communicate ideas in the finished An application of art elements that contribute towards the development and resolution of aesthetic qualities. Understanding and appropriate use of materials, techniques, processes and methods of presentation that demonstrates an understanding of the student s selected artform/s. VCAA Page 4

5 VCE Studio Arts: Administrative advice for School-based Assessment in 2015 Scope of task In this task students are expected to develop, refine and evaluate artworks in order to contribute toward the production of a cohesive folio of finished artworks based on the investigation and development of potential directions in the design process in Unit 3. The term materials and techniques may not be relevant to all art form/s, for example in relation to digital media the art forms could be explained as media and processes. The folio must consist of no fewer than two finished There should be a cohesive relationship between the artworks, illustrating related concepts. Each artwork should contribute to the development of a cohesive folio. Finished artworks can be connected through the depiction of subject matter, the use of aesthetic qualities and the application of materials and techniques However, the number of finished artworks will be determined by the nature of the artworks, the scale and complexity of the work undertaken, the art form/s and the design process completed. For example, a series of small intricately designed art forms produced through a process of complex techniques may be equivalent in time and effort to two large, expressively painted canvases or a series of digitally manipulated images. If only one finished artwork is submitted for assessment a student has not satisfactorily achieved the outcome and is unable to score in Criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of School-assessed Task 1 and should be assessed as NS (Not Shown) for these criteria. The submission of only one finished artwork deems that the student has not satisfactorily completed the Outcome and could receive an N for Unit 4. Presentation of artworks for assessment should be carefully considered to ensure that the surface qualities of the work are not obscured and the close examination of aesthetic qualities and technical applications is not obstructed. Framing of artworks is not required; however, it may be considered as part of the presentation of the finished artwork. Decisions surrounding the presentation of the framed or mounted work should be documented in visual and written form. It should be remembered that the use of glass, perspex, plastic or other such materials may obscure the surface and obstruct the close examination of the techniques and texture of the medium/media used in the work presented for assessment. Presenting a series of images in a concertina book would be considered one artwork. Mounting more than one piece of work in a multi-cut mount may be considered one piece of artwork and as such does not present a folio of artworks, which is required for Unit 4.An installation work, documented in the final reflection and evaluation document, may consist of many individual works but should be considered in refinement as one work. The process of evaluation and refinement must be clearly documented throughout Unit 4. Outcome 2 Provide visual and written documentation that identifies the folio focus and evaluates the extent to which the finished artworks reflect the selected potential directions, and effectively demonstrate a cohesive relationship between the works. Nature of task A visual and written statement completed after the production of the art works.. The documentation identifies the refined focus of the folio, reflects on the communication of ideas, use of materials and techniques, the resolution of aesthetics and the relationship between the artworks that form the cohesive folio. The documentation should be produced at the end of the folio in Unit 4. It is not a repetition of the design process; rather it is a clear and succinct visual and written document that clearly defines the VCAA Page 5

6 VCE Studio Arts: Administrative advice for School-based Assessment in 2015 folio focus, provides evidence of the potential directions that informed the focus of the folio and provides evidence of the student s reflection and evaluation of the cohesive folio. Depending on the degree of resolution in the potential directions, the student may need to further refine them prior to commencing the final Where further refinement is undertaken evidence of such refinement and a description and/or explanation of the processes involved must be documented. Refinement of potential directions must be resolved within the first two weeks of Unit 4, to allow the student sufficient time to complete the cohesive folio of This refinement should not supplement work that should have been undertaken in Unit 3, School-assessed Task 1.Prior to the commencement of the folio the student must provide visual evidence of the potential directions selected at the end of Unit 3, which will contribute to the production of finished After the completion of the folio the student must use appropriate art language and terminology to complete the visual and written statement that will: identify and discuss the refined focus and subject matter of the folio discuss ways in which potential directions contributed to the production of finished artworks identify and discuss reasons why particular potential directions were selected discuss, in visual and written form, any further refinement, development and refocusing of potential directions completed in order to produce artworks in a cohesive folio. explain how materials and techniques were applied in the finished artworks explain how aesthetic qualities and ideas were communicated, resolved and realised in the finished artworks analyse how the finished artworks realise the student s communication of ideas evaluate how relationships between finished artworks were established. discuss the presentation of the cohesive folio. Scope of task The written component of the Focus, Reflection and Evaluation should be word processed and may be presented as an extended statement, short paragraphs and where appropriate may include dot points. Visual material that must be included in the extended statement and collated prior to the commencement of the folio may include photographs, screen dumps or photocopies of selected potential directions from Unit 3, School-assessed Task 1. Students may also include sketches and plans of the proposed artworks, images, drawings and/or screen dumps demonstrating the application of software to be used to create Annotations should accompany all the visual material. Potential directions may include further refinement such as maquettes, mock ups, sketches and highly effective plans that support the development of the finished The folio Focus, Reflection and Evaluation Document is used by the teacher to directly inform the assessment of Criteria 1, 4 and 6. The documentation may be used in conjunction with the cohesive body of work to support the assessment of Criteria 2, 3 and 5. Without a folio Focus, Reflection and Evaluation Document the student cannot be assessed in Criterion 6. If a folio focus, reflection and evaluation document is not presented a student cannot score in Criterion 3 of School-assessed Task 2 and should be assessed as NS (Not Shown). Failure to submit the Focus, Reflection and Evaluation Document deems that the student has not completed Outcome 2 and may receive an N for the Unit. VCAA Page 6

20 Authentication of VCE Studio Arts School-Assessed Tasks (SATs) Teachers are reminded of the need to comply with the authentication requirements specified in the Assessment: School-based Assessment section of the VCE and VCAL Administrative Handbook This is important to ensure that undue assistance [is] not provided to students while undertaking assessment tasks. Teachers must be aware of the following requirements for the authentication of VCE Studio Arts Schoolassessed Tasks: 1. The exploration proposal and developmental folio created for SAT 1 and the cohesive folio created for SAT 2 in VCE Studio Arts are based on work completed in Unit 3, Outcomes 1 and 2 and Unit 4, Outcomes 1 and Teachers are required to fill out the Authentication Record form and provide the student with feedback on their progress at each observation. 3. The study design requires students to document how any assistance will be sought and/or use of appropriated images or other material will be acknowledged or copyright observed. 4. The VCE Studio Arts study design notes that work related to the outcomes of each unit will be accepted only if the teacher can attest that, to the best of their knowledge, all unacknowledged work is the student s own. 5. Undue assistance should not occur at any time during the development of the Unit 3 exploration proposal and developmental folio and/or the Unit 4 folio and teachers need to be vigilant. Students are required to present an individual design process, a range of visual explorations and potential directions and a cohesive folio of finished Teachers are reminded that it is not appropriate to provide detailed advice on, corrections to, or actual reworking of students drafts or productions or folios 6. During the development of each folio teachers must plan and use observations of student work in order to monitor and record each student s progress as part of the authentication process. 7. All use of external support must be planned and documented in the student s folio and teachers must certify that such support does not constitute undue assistance. 8. Teachers must ensure that where students appropriate the visual or intellectual property of others, the source is clearly acknowledged and that the use of such material does not constitute plagiarism or contravene copyright and licensing agreements. All images used in the design process must appear with evidence of their source and any development that clearly establishes the work as that of the student. The use of other artists aesthetic qualities should be carefully considered during the design process. Over-use or direct copying of aesthetics of others may not allow students to develop individually creative explorations. All developmental work must relate directly to the student s individual ideas expressed in the exploration proposal 9. Students should be encouraged to complete their artwork in school. Where students use external service providers, their documentation should demonstrate that they have researched and identified the appropriate and correct technical methods required and also created their own specifications for the service provider. This will show their complete creative control over the making of their artwork. Without this evidence the teacher may not be able to authenticate the student s artwork or apply the SAT assessment criteria fairly. Observations and additional documentation should ensure that all source and reference material not developed by the student, appropriated imagery, use of non-school (home, outsourced) VCAA Page 20
