Y11 mock exam project
AO1/AO3 Investigations, analysis & experiments
In term 1, students select from a range of different briefs before beginning their Y11 mock exam project. This term focuses on research; analysis; sources of inspiration and experimenting with media and materials as well as textiles techniques and processes. Students will produce a series of drawings and paintings and collect as wide a range of primary and secondary sources of inspiration as possible. They will engage with a number of relevant artists and designers demonstrating a critical understanding of sources. Students will show that they can develop ideas through purposeful investigations by producing a range of ‘Working in the style of’ samples for the artists/ designers they have studied.

For measuring the body.
A type of synthetic or polymer paint that has various important properties for the student.
Work that is based on the naturalistic representation of the extrenal world i.e. that is everything from the human figure to landscapes, still lives etc.
The repeat unit is created by stacking the original repeat block in a grid format.
Just like the half drop, the brick repeat unit is also very commonly used in surface pattern repeats. It’s very similar to the half drop pattern repeat except instead of the repeat unit being stacked vertically in a column format, it
Refers to printmaking processes, such as collographs, woodcut and lino-printing where the ink is applied to the surface of the printing block before printing onto paper.
Students will creatively approach the task of generating ideas for their practical outcome in their mock exam. Students will have to make decisions about their own work and what direction they wish to take it in.
Students get a great sense of enjoyment from working together on creative tasks.

AO2 Exploring & developing ideas
During this term, students use their sources of inspiration to inspire a range of initial ideas.
These sketches are then ‘brought to life’ using a range of different materials. Students then explore their initial ideas further by experimenting with a range of drawing and painting media; materials; textiles techniques and processes.
Three of these ideas are then developed further before selecting one to use as a final idea.
At this stage students are still considering different materials, techniques and processes and have not decided on the most suitable ones yet so will produce alternative samples for as many ways of decorating/ constructing their final idea as possible.

Something removed from its original context and employed in a collage or assemblage or exhibited as an object in its own right with no or minimal alteration.
Silk painting refers to paintings on silk. They are a traditional way of painting in Asia.
Also called silkscreen process. a printmaking technique in which a mesh cloth is stretched over a heavy wooden frame and the design, painted on the screen by tusche or affixed by stencil, is printed by having a squeegee force color through the pores of th
A process of applying glue to certain areas on a fabric, then applying fine fibres which stick to the glue. The result is a velvet like surface.
Designs are carved into copper rollers. One is needed for each colour.
Supports students in becoming creative individuals who recognise the benefit of taking creative risks. Gives students the opportunity to explore & develop their own ideas and visions.
Opportunities to work as a team, recognising the strengths of others, sharing equipment.

AO2 - Refining final idea
At this stage, most students have decided which techniques and processes are the most suitable to use but are still refining their use of materials, colour, pattern, shape, style, imagery & texture.
Students will spend time refining every different part of their intended practical outcome. Previous samples will be developed further.
Students will produce mock-ups to trial different shapes and styles as well as a prototype to check the final appearance and function of their intended outcome.
Once students have done this they will produce a refined final idea that incorporates all modifications that arise from the ‘refining final idea’ stage.

A pattern is a discernible regularity in the world or in a man made design. As such, the elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner.
An element of design that indicates how an object, living thing or material feels to the touch. For example, an artwork can look rough or smooth.
Also known as visual elements, the building blocks of making art work - colour, form, line, pattern, texture, tone & shape.
Forming a pleasing or consistent whole. Matching, balanced, proportional, in proportion, compatible, well matched, well proportioned, well balanced.
Balance in art refers to the sense of distribution of perceived visual weights that offset one another. We feel more comfortable--and therefore find it more pleasing--when the parts of an artwork seem to balance each other.
Students will gain a wider appreciation of the different ways of responding to a given brief. Students will be able to reflect on the work of others and use it as inspiration for their work.
Students support each other by sharing their expertise in certain techniques and processes.

AO4 - Presenting personal response practical outcome
During term 4, students will refine each part of their refined final idea further.
Trials of all intended techniques and processes will be carried out before students present a personal & meaningful final practical outcome for their Y11 project.
Students will then work on improving their Y10 project and presenting a personal & meaningful final practical outcome for this.

A pattern is a discernible regularity in the world or in a man made design. As such, the elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner.
The degree of difference between colour tones, values and shapes.
A method of producing coloured designs on textiles by dyeing them, having first applied wax to the parts to be left un-dyed.
A heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air, usually at temperatures between 100 °C and 550 °C (200-1000 °F), with some hotter models running around 760 °C (1400 °F), which can be held by hand.
The process of applying heat-applied materials to various items (i.e., substrates) with a heat press.
Digital images or text can be printed onto this type of paper using a computer. The content can be transferred to material by placing the paper onto a fabric and ironing on the reverse with a hot iron.
Students will have developed their own style throughout the year. Students will have identified the techniques they are best at through self-assessment and this will enable them to work to their strengths in their final exam.
Opportunities to work together promotes tolerance and respect as well as appreciation of the work produced by others.

In term 5, students will organise their portfolio, sketchbooks and practical work ready for submission to the exam board
All marks submitted to AQA by the specified deadline.
Textile art is the creation of textiles or creation with textiles. Textile artists use various techniques to create works of art using threads and fibres sometimes in combination with paints or dyes.
Information that has been produced by somebody else is known as a secondary source. Secondary sources of information include: newspapers, directories, books and maps DVDs and websites, television and radio.
A large, thin, flat case for loose sheets of paper such as drawings or maps.
The process a student undertakes from initial ideas to final outcome.
Serious thought or consideration.
Students will have produced a practical outcome that expresses themselves in a personal and meaningful way.
Textiles provides an environment where students feel comfortable to express themselves in thoughtful and respectful ways.
