Week 12 (28/11) - Art Mock Examination

Work Set (Final Piece) : Two Days (5hrs each day - exact days TBA). Normally, the week before the main Year 11 Mock Exams students sit their 10 hr Art Mock over 2 days. Students will effectively be expected to complete a substantial amount of the Still Life Project Final Piece during the 10hrs as there will obviously be no Art lesson during mock the examination weeks. This will also allow students experience of what can be achieved in 10hrs in readiness for the final examination.

NOTE: There will be a two week period after Christmas to complete the Final Piece and sketchbook work before final assessment. However the Final Examination Paper will be available to start at the beginning of January, so it it strongly advised that students complete all work over Christmas.
