Everyday Life
Year Eleven Mock Exam Paper
Unit Three – Everyday Life.
The project will be completed during both class and at home time for the duration of
12 weeks. The project is worth a total of 80 marks (60 marks for
sketchbook/preparation work and 20 marks for final piece.) It is essential that all of
the four assessment objectives are covered successfully in order to achieve a higher
grade pass, (see assessment objective mark sheet for marking criteria.)
AO1 – Working in artist styles and artist research.
A02 – Planning for a final piece in the style of your chosen artist, and use of different
media ( materials).
A03 – Observational drawing and own photographs.
AO4 – Final piece/s which shows a clear link to an artist/s style.
Please ensure that you meet the strict deadlines - it’s important that you spend an
even amount of time on each of the assessment objectives to ensure that you have
covered them all successfully.
Week One Lesson one.
Lesson One – Brainstorm possible ideas for your ‘Everyday Life’ project, past examples shown.
Homework at the end of lesson one - to take six photos of thing related to your theme. E.g. if your chosen project
is based on ‘ gardens’ you need six good quality photos of garden/s. Remember to make your subject matter
resource able for pictures, i.e., don’t draw New York if you can’t photograph it. The photos need to be brought
to your next art lesson, already printed.
(DON’T BRING THEM ON MEMORY STICK AND EXPECT TO PRINT THEM OFF DURING LESSON, YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED BEFORE THE LESSON WITH IMAGES READY TO DRAW FROM.)
Weeks 1- 3. Lesson 2
Objective- Build upon evidence to support A03 of the assessment criteria
(observational drawing.)
You must complete a minimum of:
6 x Observational drawings of things related to your ‘Everyday Life’ project. (3 x
grey pencil studies and 3 x coloured studies using a media of your choice.) These will
be completed in both class time and at home for the duration of three weeks.
Weeks 4-7
Objective- Build upon evidence to support A01 of the assessment criteria (artist
research).
You must complete at least: 6 x artist research pages (working in the style of a
chosen artist with written analysis to support each one.) These will be completed in
both class time and at home for the duration of four weeks.
Discuss with your teacher artists who are relevant to your idea. A mixture of
contemporary and traditional art would be best.
Weeks 8 – 10
Objective – Build upon evidence to support A02 of the assessment criteria
(planning ideas and experimenting with materials.)
You must have at least:
6 x finished plans in colour. (Plans should be an idea that you are considering for a
final piece and should therefore show clear links to your chosen artists’ style.) Plans
should also include photography.
You may experiment with different materials, techniques and processes. The purpose
of having six plans/design ideas is to re- visit an idea using different compositions,
colours and materials. (These will be completed in both class time and at home for the
duration of four weeks.)
Week 11
Objective - Build upon evidence to support A04 of the assessment criteria. (Final
outcome).
Draw up and complete ‘Everyday Life’ final piece using your preferred choice of
material.
Week 12
