School-assessed Task

Unit 3

VCE Studio Arts: Administrative information for

School-based Assessment in 2021

School-assessed Task Outcomes

Unit 3 Outcome 1On completion of this unit the student should be able to prepare an exploration proposal that formulates the

content and parameters of an individual studio process including a plan of how the proposal will be

undertaken

Unit 3 Outcome 2On completion of this unit the student should be able to progressively present an individual studio process

recorded in written and visual form that produces a range of potential directions, and reflects the concepts

and ideas documented in the exploration proposal and work plan.

School-assessed Task Outcomes

Unit 4 Outcome 1On completion of this unit the student should be able to present at least two finished artworks based on

selected and evaluated potential directions developed through the studio process, which demonstrate

refinement and application of materials and techniques, and that realise and communicate the student’s

ideas expressed in the exploration proposal.

Unit 4 Outcome 2On completion of this unit the student should be able to provide visual and written documentation that

identifies and evaluates the extent to which the artworks reflect the selected potential directions, and

effectively demonstrates a cohesive relationship between the works.

Unit 3 and 4 School Assessed Task

The School assessed task contributes 60 percent to the study

score and is commenced in Unit 3 and completed in Unit 4

The SAT has four components

• Unit 3 Outcome 1 (Criterion 1)

• Unit 3 Outcome 2 (Criteria 2 – 5)

• Unit 4 Outcome 1 (Criteria 6 - 9)

• Unit 4 Outcome 1 (Criterion 10)

VCE Studio Arts Assessment Sheet 2021

• The 2021 VCE Studio Arts Assessment Sheet on page 28 is to be used by teachers to record scores.

• The completed assessment sheet must be made available on request by the VCAA.

• The mandated assessment criteria are published annually on the Studio Arts study page of the VCAA website and notification of their publication is given in the February VCAA Bulletin.

Scoring of criteria for School-assessed Task

Criteria 1

Unit 3

Outcome 1

1. Preparation of an exploration proposal and work plan that

formulates the content and parameters of an individual

studio process.

Criterion 1

Criteria 1: EVIDENCE

▪ The exploration proposal is in the range of 1000 - 1500 words.

▪ Visual material is cited and referenced to support the ideas, subject matter and conceptual possibilities explained in the

exploration proposal.

▪ The exploration proposal must address the following content:

▪ the focus and subject matter to be developed

▪ the ideas to be explored

▪ the art forms that will be explored through the studio process the analysis and interpretation of sources of inspiration

relevant to student ideas

▪ conceptual possibilities

▪ the use of art elements, art principles and aesthetic qualities to be investigated

▪ the materials and techniques to be explored and developed

▪ plan of the studio process.

▪ At the end of the exploration proposal there is a work plan that provides a weekly overview to explain how the studio

process will be structured and managed.

2. Interpretation of and response to sources of inspiration to

explore, develop and refine ideas throughout the studio

process

Criteria 2: EVIDENCE

EXPLORE – DEVELOP – REFINE

▪ There are written and visual references in the form of

annotations and citations that explain how artistic and

personal influences will be used and interpreted throughout

the studio process..

Criterion 2

Criterion 2

Criterion 3

Criteria 3

Outcome 2

3. Exploration of conceptual possibilities in the studio process

that develops individual and personal subject matter as

discussed in the exploration proposal and work plan.

Criteria 3: EVIDENCE

EXPLORE – DEVELOP – REFINE

▪ Exploration of conceptual possibilities is linked to the selection and

development of individual and personal subject matter discussed in the

exploration proposal and work plan.

▪ In response to conceptual possibilities, a range of personal and individual

subject matter is progressively explored, developed and refined through

documentation in the studio process..

▪ use of materials, techniques and processes relevant to the art form/s

discussed in the exploration proposal.

▪ use of art elements and principles to demonstrate aesthetic qualities.

▪ application and refinement of skills in the use of materials, techniques

and processes relevant to the art form/s discussed in the exploration

proposal.

Criteria 4

Criterion 5

Criteria 5

Unit 3

Outcome 2

Documentation of exploratory and developmental work in the

studio process clarifies ideas to identify and evaluate potential

directions.

Criteria 5: EVIDENCE

EXPLORE – DEVELOP – REFINE

▪ Written and visual documentation in a visual diary that includes research, trials and

experiments relating to the ideas expressed in the exploration proposal and work plan.

▪ Methods for progressively recording and documenting visual and written explorations in a

visual diary. (For example: The visual diary is paginated and most pages are dated).

▪ Strategies for identifying, developing and evaluating a range of potential directions: (For

example: A range of potential directions are clearly numbered and titled At least two

potential directions have been identified and evaluated using art terminology. There is

associated exploration and developmental work with each potential direction.
