Art Department

Art Department Homework Policy

Because art is a practical subject, the procedure for independent work varies a little from the school norm.

KS3

Students will receive two tasks each half-term, a practical assignment and a contextual research task. Teachers will assess these pieces and provide written comments to explain the marks and to set targets for further progress. Effort is also rewarded through comments and departmental commendations (stickers and postcards).

KS4

Students will be set a series of tasks which will receive comment and targets. Sketch books will be assessed fortnightly and avice given about progress. Student sketchbooks are marked using GCSE grades.
