Junior Certificate Art Project - MARKING SCHEME
Examination Requirements
The 300
marks for this project are allocated as follows:
75
marks – PREPARATION: research and investigation using a variety of media
75
marks – DEVELOPMENT: studies showing individual creative steps
120
marks – REALISATION: the completed 2D and 3D works
30
marks – SUPPORT STUDIES: visual and written material relating to the
project.
1.
Your PREPARATION STUDIES are a very
important part of your project. You are asked to spend time carefully considering the themes on
the examination paper before making your choice.
Choose a theme that best suits your interests.
You should interpret the theme in a way that is inventive and relevant. You must be able to
research the subject matter of your theme thoroughly in a visual way, for example: by drawing,
making colour studies, using photography, making three-dimensional studies and other ways of
recording what you see and imagine. In doing this you will produce a collection of images and research
ideas which you must then develop. You must use your own observed and / or imagined images.
You should not depend on copying or tracing images.
2. DEVELOPMENT involves exploring, considering and reconsidering the
ideas you have produced
in your Preparation Studies in new and
different ways as your work progresses. You must regularly review the work you have done in
order to identify its successes and failures to help you
to decide what to do next. Your Development
should show how your ideas and techniques progress.
3. The REALISATION stage of your Project follows on from your
Preparation Studies and Development, where you make your finished 2D
and 3D works. Realisation involves identifying
what to make and choosing appropriate
materials and techniques to carry out your plan to the highest possible standard. You must do this in
the school under the supervision of your teacher and the work must NOT be removed from the school before the examination is marked in June.
4. Your SUPPORT STUDIES should reflect your project. By studying work from
both past and present you will understand and
appreciate how artists, craftworkers and
designers work with particular themes and
techniques. Support Studies can be in and written format and should relate to, and
reinforce, the processes undertaken in the 2D, the 3D and Option areas of your project.
