VISUAL ART 

Visual Art making is characterised by the use of common assessment tasks: Students with particularly high skills can attempt the same task as the rest of the class. Usually, differentiation occurs by outcome, rather than a unique extension task. However, having identified the student, teachers will often enrich the question set, providing the student with more options for demonstration of technical, and/or conceptual understanding, greater independence, and opportunities to show a higher level of ability through more complex decision-making.

Students who show interest as well as aptitude are encouraged to seek opportunities to contextualise their work, in competitions and/ or publications.  Students are also encouraged to pursue their interests and productivity in their own time.
