Edexcel GCSE Art and Design 2016 Component 1 schemes of work for Textile Design present an introduction to student-led visual enquiry aligned with four Assessment Objectives. The document explains two adaptable options—‘Moments in Time’ and ‘Freedom’—built around observational recording, experimentation, and the development of a substantial evidence portfolio. It outlines learning intentions, assessment objectives, resources, homework tasks, exemplar materials, and guidance on exploring artists, cultures, and creative contexts through practical textile processes.

Instead, it encourages innovative and imaginative responses from students in their interpretation of the requirements of the specification. The process of studying art is an ongoing visual enquiry that has an infinite number of creative possibilities. For example, creating an observational study from looking at something could and should be regarded as covering the Development of an idea (AO1)’ Refinement and Experimentation (AO2); Recording (AO3); and Presenting (AO4). Through studying art, the Edexcel GCSE Art and Design specification encourages innovation and imagination when addressing the four distinct Assessment Objectives; Development of an idea (AO1); Refinement and Experimentation (AO2); Recording (AO3); and Presenting (AO4). This document contains two possible schemes of work for Component 1: Personal Portfolio but they are provided purely as suggestions: Option 1: ‘Moments in Time’ Option 2: ‘Freedom’ Both schemes of work can be adapted or integrated into existing schemes of work to suit the needs of the centre and its students. You are advised to read through the whole document and to select the topics and ideas most appropriate to your own students. The schemes of work could be used as ice breakers and / or starters to enable students to develop their knowledge and skills both in creating and presenting individual pieces and more developed bodies of work, allowing them to gain a better understanding of the inter-related Assessment Objectives. They are not intended to be used over a specified period of time but should be used for as long as they are inspiring and productive. Driven by a series of easy-to-follow exercises, both schemes of work are based on and around observational recording skills. They should enable all ability levels to gain confidence and, above all, to achieve a substantial portfolio of evidence for submission. As with any project / theme, they could be attempted at any level, Year 10, Year 11 or beyond. One area of concern is understanding cultures and the work of others in order to inform and nourish the ongoing visual artwork. The artists and cultures mentioned here are just a few of the possible places from which more knowledge can be gained. They are not intended to be the ‘correct’ contexts and should be seen as starting points for further discovery and exploration. Where appropriate, relevant creative and cultural industries could be referenced to support the ongoing development of each student’s work.

Scheme of work option 1: ‘Moments in Time’ This scheme of work aims to introduce a range of textile and arts-based skills through observation and experimentation. Learning objectives Assessment Objectives Resources (materials) Homework / independent study Exemplar resources Create compositions of threads, fabrics and collage materials onto tiles of card, to serve as primary source inspiration. Observed mark-making using a viewfinder to select creatively interesting compositions to draw and record from . Observed studies using a variety of drawing materials to explore line, tone and composition. Observed studies where both right-handed and left-handed drawings are created.

FAQs

What Assessment Objectives structure the schemes of work?

The schemes align student work with four Assessment Objectives: Development of an idea (AO1), Refinement and Experimentation (AO2), Recording (AO3), and Presenting (AO4).

What are the two scheme of work options for Component 1?

Option 1 is ‘Moments in Time’ and Option 2 is ‘Freedom’. The document notes both can be adapted or integrated into existing centre schemes.

How do the schemes encourage evidence for submission?

They use easy-to-follow exercises based on observational recording skills, supporting learners to build confidence and achieve a substantial portfolio of evidence through ongoing experimentation and presentation.
