Art & Design IGCSE - Art session with private candidates

Art & Design A* 92% June Series 2019

This AMAZING student, Hakim - found my blog and contacted me through DM ( my Instagram @artandfeeda ) and he shares his work, asking my opinion in technicality of Cambridge requirement and all. (Yes, sometimes I give feedback to students around the world when they approach me through DM - provided if I am available or I'll give them a time frame to wait for my feedback.)

His work, indeed amazing and when I saw his prep, I knew he is going to scores a good grade. He asked me to forecast his work and at that point of  time, I don't have his Final Pieces (Paper 1&2) so my forecast truly based on his prep work of P1&P2. I told him he'll scores around 91%-93%, definitely A*. My forecast as well based on his content, ideas, experiment and exploration in media and how he presented his work at each prep. Also, it was all based from my experience guiding Art & Design IGCSE.

Guess what, he scores A*, 92%!! So proud of him! I wish he is my student! Haha!
I asked his permission to put up his work in my art blog and he is kind enough to allowed me to share his work with all of you! THANK YOU HAKIM!

You all can follow him at Instagram: @spicychickenmcdeluxe because he shares many interesting pictures (considering colours, angles and concept!).

I wish you all the best in future undertakings Hakim! Thank you again for letting me share your AWESOME work here! Everytime I show your work to my students in school, they all can't stop "WOW" and "WOW"! Impressive!

Paper 1 : Merging Forms

Paper 2 : The Blue Guitarist 

Thank you and have a nice day!

Art & Design IGCSE 0400 New Syllabus 2020-22 - Coursework brief explanation

Dear art educators, parents and students,

I've received quite number of emails regarding confusion on how to plan towards new syllabus Art & Design IGCSE.

Below, I copy-paste my respond to some of the educators through email. You might want to go through as well if you are still confused on how to plan and design your Scheme of Work or Lesson Plan for your students. 

COURSEWORK (PAPER 1)

Coursework consist 8 prep, A2 size back to back, so it'll become 4pages/pieces + 1 Final Piece

Topic for coursework as per suggested in CIE Art Resources Book, it can be in any topic, including Fine Art styles, Design Styles or any art discipline will do. 

As for myself, I prepared various topics, about 20 topics/themes for my student to choose. I also took some from past year question from Paper1(old syllabus), but that's only 30%, another 70% I've created by myself.

If student insist to do their own theme, they can, but when you know they can carry the theme successfully. Somehow sometimes, students can be too ambitious. So, the teacher needs to monitor the selection of topic as well.

My suggestion,

if your school is taking June Series, your coursework should start at least 6 months earlier unless you know your students can do well even in a shorter time frame. 

e.g

June Series 2020	Paper 1 (Coursework) timeline	Paper 2 (Set Assignment) timeline
	Topic by teacher 8 prep + 1 Final Piece	Topic by Cambridge Released on 1st Jan 2020 4 Prep + *1 Final Piece *Final Piece (8hours)  – student needs to be in an exam set up - student needs to bring all the prep work inside exam room (or any room for the art) to refer to do the Final Piece - some school breaks into 2 days e.g 4 hours on Monday, another 4 hours on Tuesday
	Suggestion to complete for the sake of quality for all 8 prep + 1 Final Piece – June 2019 – Dec 2019 ** if the students are okay with the time frame and their art skills are solid, the students can starts the 8 preps and all by July 2019- Dec 2020 as well. ***it will be great if we plan in such, we complete Coursework prep and Final Piece before we do Paper 2.	Since the question is up on website on 1st Jan 2020 Suggestion to complete 4 prep + 2 days of Final Piece exam – Jan 2020 – early April 2020
Oct/Nov Series 2020	Suggestion to complete for the sake of quality for all 8 prep + 1 Final Piece – Jan 2020 – June 2020 ** if the students are okay with the time frame and their art skills are solid, the students can starts the 8 preps and all by Jan-June 2020 as well. ***it will be great if we plan in such, we complete Coursework prep and Final Piece before we do Paper 2.	Since the question is up on website on 1st July 2020 Suggestion to complete 4 prep + 2 days of Final Piece exam – July 2020 – early Oct 2020
