Artwork Review
Studio
Mark: 11/20
The artworks are primarily two-dimensional and produced in such media as acrylic, pen and ink, chalk, watercolour, pencil, photography and mixed media. An additional and informative photograph of the exhibition as a whole is also included in the record booklet.
The student mainly shows artwork on a theme relating to the female form and displays some sensitivity to the materials used and to their use in the development of this theme.

Investigation
Mark: 8/20
The supporting pages provide evidence of investigation into the theme of the female form using such references as the photographic work of Horst and an inquiry into the development of the female corset over the past century. There is also some reference to plastic surgery related to this theme. Other themes represented include oriental footwear (from China) and political graffiti (Banksy).

The student presents and describes art from different cultures and times, and sometimes considers it for its function and significance. The vocabulary used, although simple and descriptive, is generally appropriate. Some effective skills, techniques and processes are employed in the collection of information relevant to waist size and to the binding of feet, but they are not analysed in depth or interpreted and presented beyond a mediocre standard. There is evidence of some organized,
