Part 1: Ideas for planning (topic) during remote teaching and learning

Dear visitors,

Here I share what you can plan for your upcoming topic/task for your students. If your school conducted an online school (for don't know how long it'll be ), you might want to re-plan your Scheme of Work. 

*****************

Here are some topics that you can consider to put in your planning, especially knowing your students have limited research/references or finding the subject matter studies (Primary Sources). Some of the topics are from past year papers from Art & Design IGCSE and some are from my suggestion. However, I think you can plan for your Key Stage 3 (Year 7-9) as well. The suggestion here as well can be used for the Component 1 - Coursework AD 0400 syllabus.

• Scattered shoes
• Scattered toys
• Scattered clothes

With these topics, the students can set up the item at home and take a picture for the Primary Sources. They also can do direct observational studies with these items.

*****************

• At the corner
• Hobby
• Calmness
• Therapeutic 

You can be creative with the topic and again, these topics can easily plan for the subject matter photoshoot at home.

*****************

• Food
• Dinner
• Happiness
• Fitness
• Perseverance 
• Routine

It's up to you as a teacher to standardize the topic for Key Stage 3 (Year 7-9) and Key Stage 4 (IGCSE level). They also can refer to these pictures as a guideline to proceed with the Coursework ideas.

Again, all the topic here is suitable for collecting/set-up the subject matter/model for the photo shoot at home.

HOW ABOUT DESIGN TASK?

No worries, here some photos that you can refer to plan for your Design work to the students.

Based on (e.g) plants, food, music instruments, fitness equipment, books (the item that they could find/gather at home), they can do -

Poster Design

Magazine Front Cover Design

Novel Front Cover Design

Website Design

Apps Design

(to name a few)

That's all from me today.

I'll share more topic ideas in my next post.

If you have any questions, you can email me or DM me at my Instagram account.

Stay safe.

Thanks.

Successful Artists and Designers are... 

The process of sending off the Art & Design IGCSE 0400 Component 1 & 2 work to Caie. What to do and how I do it at my school.

Hello to all my visitors!

I want to share how I process Component 1 & 2 to be courier off to Caie for the June Exam 2021. I hope it'll benefit all of you, especially those new in this area.

Please be aware that you can get the guideline from the Caie website. If you registered at Support Hub, you can also check it out or ask a question at the Forum section, where many educators and administrators could help you. 

I'll attach the pictures for better understanding and shall briefly explain them at each step.

***

Step 1

I used ringer for Component 1 - Coursework and string for Component 2 - ESA to attach all the work for each student. You can use anything as long as all the work tied together neatly.

We are supposed to paste the label on our right top side. I put the Final Piece on top of supporting studies (or you can call it preparation work); then, I attached the Declaration Form on the left side. Please see the photos above. Arrange them according to the name list given by Caie. In between students' work, I put a blank paper (something I use recycled paper) to secure the work from one to another. 

 

Component 1 & Component 2

  

In between of students' work, I secure them with a blank paper. The top of the work, I put the Attendance List. 

Step 2

Before we proceed with the work inside the white plastic given by Caie, we secured the work with bubble wrap. Please see the attachment photos. Remember to place the Attendance List on top of the work. 

  

Component 1 & Component 2 (Please separate the work according to the Component)

Step 3

Then, we slot the work into white plastic, Caie white plastic. The Attendance List, Labels, Stickers, and other necessary documents will be sent to the school by the end of March to early April. If you send your students' work to the exam centre, do check or get the information about the process from the centre itself. 

We also need to write the information about our school at the white plastics and paste the bar code sticker in the big box below.

Component 1 & 2. On top of Component 1 plastic, we attached Cover Letter from your school. Just to stated that these are the work from our students for the June Series 2021. A brief Cover Letter. If your school did not practice this, that's fine too. 

Step 4

We stacked the 2 sets of work together, and we wrapped them with brown paper. Please see the photos. Also, the Cover Letter I mentioned earlier, we attached on top of the first plastic. Please don't get confused. Before we wrapped with the brown paper, the Cover Letter is on the plastic. Why brown paper? It's for the courier process purposes, and also, we want to make it neater as we stacked 2 work into 1 package. 

 

Step 5

We use DHL Malaysia, and here another photo for your reference. 

 

Ready to 'fly' to Caie!

Grade A - Art & Design IGCSE 0400 - Oct2020 Results (Syllabus 2020-2022)

PART 3

Good day to all of you.

Thank you for visiting my art blog.

Here the samples of the artwork of Grade A from the Oct 2020 Series/Exam. The artwork was from the new syllabus of Art & Design IGCSE 0400 Component 1 & 2 (2020-2022 syllabus). Everybody was anxious, waiting for the results recently. This is the first time Cambridge is marking the work as of June 2020 they cancelled all the IGCSE exam due to the pandemic. 

The students results here were from my private tutoring, and overall, I am proud of their achievement despite pandemic and the lockdown challenge last year.

It was a stressful journey to all of us, especially with the limited movement and guiding mostly through Whatsapp and Google Meet.

I hope my students' work helps you analyse the standard of the new syllabus of Art & Design IGCSE 0400 / 2020-2022.

My school students are taking June Series/Exam, and I'll share their work outcomes after the results are out, probably by August 2021.
