Elective Home Learning Art KS4

Year 11:

Artist links are of high importance and refer to 25% of your overall marks in your GCSE. They bend and

shape the way our work develops over the year and are often the missing link we need to create exciting,

high quality and different work. Throughout your exams you are expected to research and create reference

sheets relating to an ‘Artist Link’ that suits, bends or shapes your work. The sheets should be seen as a

piece of art work in itself, and display the quality and ability you have as an artist, along with signs of

understanding the artists’ work; through trying the techniques used and maybe writing a little about it

(annotation).

Expected number of ‘Artist links’ for the exam preparation work –4
