Personal Investigation: Part 2
Following the completion of a published photobook during the summer of Year 12, students continue to develop their practice. They may choose to further develop the concerns, subjects, techniques and processes explored in their books or explore alternatives. They should keep in mind the need to explain their learning journey so that all creative decisions are documented in sufficient detail for assessment purposes.
Component 1 culminates in the exhibition of a portfolio of work.
Each student must include in their portfolio:
Component 1 culminates in the exhibition of a portfolio of work.
Each student must include in their portfolio:
- a selection of thoughtfully presented work that demonstrates the breadth and depth of the course of study
- at least one extended collection of work or project, based on an idea, concept, theme or issue. This should demonstrate the student’s ability to sustain work from an initial starting point to a realisation. It should include evidence of their ability to research and develop ideas and link their work in a meaningful way to relevant critical/contextual materials.
Portfolios may also include:
- critical/contextual work, which could include written material such as journals, reviews, reflections and evaluations, annotations and historical background material. Evidence may be included from books, journals, moving images, photographs, digital presentations and the internet, as well as studies made during a residency, site, gallery or museum visit.
- sketchbooks, workbooks, journals. Alternatively, students may wish to present a series of related images mounted on sheets.
- where appropriate to the student’s area of study, test pieces, samples, storyboards, models or maquettes.
There is no restriction on the scale of work produced. Students should carefully select, organise and present work to ensure that they provide evidence of meeting all four assessment objectives. All the work submitted for this component will be marked as a whole. Students must identify and acknowledge sources which are not their own
