done it.”

What you have done? (talk about your designs for your final outcome)

T4: Evaluation of your final outcome.

Why do we evaluate our work?

An Evaluation should be completed at the end of an assignment. You

carry out evaluations to reflect on the work you have produce and

identify what you have successfully achieved and where you can make

improvements. Evaluations are important to your progress, as they help

you set targets to work towards in future assignments/Art outcomes.

When evaluating your work try to answer the following questions:

1. What have I done in the Assignment?2. Have I met the requirements of the brief and how?3. What did I enjoy in the assignment?4. How did my sketchbook/developmental work help me produce my final

outcome?5. What is successful about my final outcome?6. What improvements could I make to my final outcomes?7. If I started this assignment again what would I do differently?8. In future projects I plan to focus on the following targets to improve my work:

a)……………………………………………………………………………………… b)……………………………………………………………………………………… c)………………………………………………………………………………………

Your Evaluation should be presented across a double page.

Again add a title and be creative

Use the questions above to guide you through this task.

When talking about your final outcome, don‟t forget to state the

process of how you put your print and mask together to create

your mixed media artwork.

Talk about how you stitched your prints together to create a

collage which then acted as the frame for your mask.

How did you attach your mask to your framework? (Stitch)

What further detail did you add to your mask in response to your

research? (Threads, Raffia, Feathers etc.
