COMMENTS: Y10 - Jan reports 2018
1=#N has made excellent progress with a range of skills, most recently with the ceramic project. #E has completed all the tasks to a consistently high standard, with very strong evidence of drawing skills in the still-life prep sheet. To improve, ought to discover examples by other artists that relate to #h work in order to further #h knowledge of Art in general and to gain extra inspiration.
2=#N has made good progress with a range of skills, most recently with the ceramic project. #E has completed all the tasks to a good standard, with strong evidence of experimentation and exploration of art media for the still-life prep sheet.
3=#N has made some progress with a range of skills, most recently with the ceramic project. #E has completed most of the tasks to a reasonable standard, with some good experiments in the still-life prep sheet. To improve, needs to practise, more regularly, many of the basic drawing skills; this needs to be done in addition to lesson time; in #h own time, either at home or come into the art department at lunchtimes where more support can be offered; such effort would result in more rapid progress.
4=To improve, ought to revisit some of the exercises on the formal elements and practise achieving fine and accurate detail in drawing, with the knowledge that #e can replace some of the still-life "try-outs" on the prep sheet with new and better ones (which will inevitably raise #h eventual grade).

COMMENTS: Y10 - March 2019
1=#N has made excellent progress with a range of skills, most recently with collagraph printmaking. #E has completed all the tasks to a consistently high standard, with very strong evidence of drawing skills in the on going still-life unit as well as the group sculpture project.

COMMENTS: Y10 - March 2022
1=#N has made excellent progress in drawing, collage, mixed media and most recently, ceramics. #E has completed all the tasks to a high standard, with strong evidence of creativity, experimentation and exploration of media.
2=#N has worked hard on developing #h technical skill and takes constructive criticism in a positive light.
3=#N collaborated well in the group ceramics project, helping to produce a large scale, well concieved and constructed stoneware clay piece.
4=The collaborative ceramics project saw #N using #h skills and creativity for the good of the group - helping them produce one of the most successful pieces based on the theme of sustainable cities.
5=At the time of writing, #N is planning and carving an ambitous reduction lino print as part of the printmaking unit.
6=The technical skills that #N is aquiring will create a pool from which #e will draw when the student led art making (S.L.A.M) begins towards the end of the summer term. #E will need to concieve, develop and realise an artwork of #h own - in the media & dimension of #h choosing.
7=To improve, #N should practise, more regularly, observation drawing. This needs to be done in addition to lesson time. #N should also visit art galleries and read art journals to broaden #h appreciation and knowledge of artists and art history as students will be required to demonstrate this influence in their art portfolio and own artmaking.

COMMENTS: Y11 - march 2022
1=Success in art this year relied greatly on the students ability to autonomously explore and develop an idea for an artwork, culminating in a resolved final outcome.
2=#N was very able to rise to this challenge and has produced work of an excellent level. The level of independence and self drive has been impressive to see at this age.
3=The Y11 course has allowed #N to freely engage with #h creativity and create art using traditional techniques, cultivating an appreciation for the creative arts.
4=#N's ability to experiment and explore a chosen theme in a range of media shows a high appreciation of the creative process.
5=#N needed frequent support with technique and generation of ideas, but was able to produce a good final outcome at the end of last term.
6=#E is now working towards completing a resolved final artwork before the end of the course. Time is tight and a high level of commitment to the task will be needed to achieve a good result.
7=The Y11 course has allowed #N to develop as an artist and I am confident that the IB art course will suit #h creative drive perfectly.
8=It has been an absolute pleasure to witness #N develop as an artist and creative thinker, and I am hopeful that #e will continue to engage in visual art by visiting galleries and keeping a sketchbook for years to come!
9=We hope to exhibit resolved work at the end of the year.

COMMENTS: Y12- IB  - Jan 2018
1=#N has made an excellent start to the IB Art course. #N has been courageous to explore and experiment with new and challenging media, such as the dynamic work produced with the visiting artist, Bernard Garo. #H is thoroughly committed to keeping up with deadlines and submitting process portfolio screens (sketchbook pages) to the best of ability.
2=We have been impressed by the way in which #e has managed the challenging medium of oil paint and the development of skills in painting is very evident. #N should feel encouraged and confident about the progress #e has made so far and we anticipate equal success in the forthcoming ceramics project.
3=To improve, could read more around the subject; gaining a greater awareness of contemporary artists; keeping notes and making sketches in the mini-notebook that has been provided.
4=#N has made a very good start to the IB Art course. #N has been courageous to explore and experiment with new and challenging media, such as the dynamic work produced with the visiting artist, Bernard Garo.
5=#N is committed to keeping up with deadlines and submitting process portfolio screens (sketchbook pages) to the best of #h ability. We have been impressed by the way in which #e has managed three-dimensional elements and the development of skills with the maquettes for ceramic sculpture.
6=#N should feel encouraged and confident about the progress #e has made so far and we anticipate equal success in the forthcoming ceramics unit. To improve, could read more around the subject; gaining a greater awareness of contemporary artists; keeping notes and making sketches in the mini-notebook that has been provided.
7=The key for #N to improve lies in #h process journal work. #N does many pages but often #e skims over the surface of the investigation. #E needs to go deeper, use a wider range of resources, include a critical analysis, explore the context and ideas behind a work to reveal why it is significant or what was its function.
8=#N needs to see and engage with art more; #e should visit galleries, read art magazines and books from the library. This deeper level of research and engagement with art will then help #m to be a more critical thinker and develop significant ideas for #h own art making.
9=#H's process pages have improved significantly. #E now understands clearly the expectations and presented an outstanding selection of pages for #h final grade.
10=As #e continues in the class I encourage #h to consider new ways to present #h process pages so that they have more flow and are more easily read.
11=In #h IWB #e does need to go back through #h book and make #h selected pages stronger responding to the feedback given.

12=As #N matures creatively and in critical thinking skills, #h should continuously revisit and upgrade #h process pages to reflect this higher level ability for analysis.
13=#N must be more respectful of deadlines, time management and organisation are key skills we aim to develop over the course.

COMMENTS: Y12- IB  - March 2022
1=#N has made an excellent start to the IB Art course. #N has been courageous to explore and experiment with new and challenging media, such as the dynamic work produced in the Collograph unit.
2=#N has made a good start to the IB Art Course. #N has been courageous to explore and experiment with new and challenging media, such as the recent work produced in the Collograph unit.
3=We were also impressed by the way in which #e managed the also new and difficult medium of oil paint and the development of skills in painting is very evident. #N should feel encouraged and confident about the progress #e has made so far and we anticipate equal success in the forthcoming ceramics project, which will produce a third potential final outcome for the exhibition component worth 40% of the final assessment.
4=#N should feel encouraged by the progress #e has made so far and we anticipate the same, if not higher, level of achievement in the current ceramics unit, which will produce a third potential final for the exhibition component worth 40% of the final assessment grade.
5=#N's process pages have been constructed with careful consideration of the criteria, and with each submission, we see that #e is better able to analyse, evaluate and demonstrate concepts through language and appropriate visuals. This places #N in a strong position as the PP pages are worth 40% of the final grade.
6=#H's process pages have improved significantly. #E now understands clearly the expectations with regard to the criteria, and presented a very good page recently for the Collograph unit.
7=#N needs to dedicate much more time to #h process pages work, which are also worth 40% of the final assessment. #N's pages can often skim over the surface of the investigation, and not respond to the criteria. #E needs to go deeper, use a wider range of resources, include more critical analysis, explore the context and ideas behind a work to reveal why it is significant to #h own explorations in art making.
8=Whenever time allows, #e should go back through #h book and make selected process pages stronger by responding to the feedback given.
9=To further benefit #N's chances of success, #e needs to see and engage with real artworks more; #e should visit galleries in order to gain a greater awareness of contemporary art, read art magazines and books from the library, keeping notes and making sketches in the mini notebook provided. This deeper level of research and engagement with art will then help #m to be a more critical thinker and develop meaningful ideas for #h own art making.
10=We will soon be introducing the Comparative Study unit which requires the students to compare and analyse 2-3 artworks from a diverse background. The wider the range of art #N has been engaging with, the greater chance #e has at success in this component which is worth 20%.
11=Overall, an excellent year so far in IB Art higher.
12=Overall, a good year so far, with many more chances to grow and develop technically and conceptually as an artist.
13=Overall, a fair start, with more focus and commitment, progress will start to soar!

11=With consideration of all units covered this year, I found #h #arttopicsy7 work #h strongest.
12=#N has kept #h e-portfolio up to date with well photographed images and comments which demonstrate excellent understanding of technique and concept.
13=#N has kept #h e-portfolio mostly up to date with well photographed images and comments which demonstrate sound understanding of technique and concept.
14=#N has not managed to keep #h e-portfolio up to date with well photographed images and comments so this must be a target for next year. The upkeeping of a digital portfolio is excellent preparation for a possible vocation in the arts, as well as good ICT practice.
15=#N would enjoy and benefit from visiting art galleries (now that they are open again!) as art appreciation becomes increasingly more important throughout the middle school art program.
16=#N has completed all projects this year to a very high standard. #E has impressed me with #h engagement and ability in acquiring new skills and making artworks.
17=In preparation for next year, I would recommend practicing elements of drawing in #h own time; such as observational drawing, focusing on attention to detail and shading.

1=#N has completed all work to a very good standard this year. #H mixed media print work was inventive and well composed, which proves that #e adapts well to new media and techniques, as well as likes to experiment with colour and pattern . has been very successful by learning new skills in ceramics with a vase that shows intricate skills in construction and design, although due to school clos #E has coped well with the online learning tasks, being on time to the meets and turning in work on time.
2=#N has completed all work to good standard. #H ceramic tile was well planned and made demonstrating commitment to the task, as well gaining experience of glazing. #E is now working hard on the selfie painting which will be our final unit, the results of which will be exhibited in the June art exhibition. To improve, whenever possible visit art galleries which will provide a source of inspiration from which to draw. Overall a good year, well done!
3=#N has not demonstrated full commitment to the tasks and, whilst #h ideas might be good, momentum and effort is sporadic, resulting in unresolved art works. I am hopeful that #e will have a more positive attitude during the current selfie painting unit. Although final results have not been satisfactory, #N has gained valuable experience, appreciation and knowledge of ceramics, printing and painting techniques, that #e can draw from in the future.
4=I hope that #N will continue to practise drawing from observation, visit galleries and read about art and artists, traditional and/or contemporary.
5=The tasks have been based on developing drawing skills and #N has demonstrated very good ability and skill in observation drawing and shading.
