With both AS and A2
levels in art, they are working through their coursework or getting ready for
their final exam.
As the A2 level
where near for their final exam which took place after the easter holiday, they
was very busy planning and filling up there sketch books with experiments,
which meant I didn’t have to help them as much, so in this time I was working
with the teacher get things ready for the next lessons.
The AS group needed
a bit more support and inspiration, in the sense that they needed help on
ensure there amount and quality of work is at an AS level and not GCSE. At this stage, I felt the art students still
think in a GCSE mind, in which at GCSE student are given a lot of information,
where I had to encourage them to be a bit more independent on their research. I
helped and gave them artists they could look at, and then they had to go out
and find out about them and why they would link.
The A level
photography students was very much in the prime of their work, and needed very
little help. I had time with each student (5 for AS and 6 for A2) and discussed
their ideas and what they have done so far and how they was going to develop
it. In these discussions I gave feedback and tried to help and inspire the
students in their progression.
