Personal Study Mark Breakdown

Component 1: Fine Art Standard Mark: 68 Performance Levels 5: Confident and Assured | | AO1 | AO2 | AO3 | AO4 | Personal Study | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Mark | 14 | 14 | 14 | 14 | 12 | | Performance Level | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Moderator Commentary Glenn has produced a highly confident and assured body of work that clearly meets the criteria for Level 5 in Fine Art. Her Component 1 begins with sensitive and thoughtful studies exploring light and dark through both painting and drawing. This initial phase demonstrates strong observational skills and an emerging understanding of tone, contrast, and atmosphere. Her practice develops significantly through independent research, particularly following her discovery of the work of Callum Russell. Inspired by this influence, Glenn embarks on a sustained and imaginative exploration of silhouettes and printmaking processes. Her subject matter of cables, electrical supply posts, and cranes reveals an interest in the beauty of the ordinary industrial features within the landscape. She uses these motifs to explore form, structure, and rhythm, combining printmaking with expressive drawing and painting within 4 concertina sketchbooks. Where Glenn particularly excels is in the refinement and mastery of printmaking techniques. She experiments confidently with layering, colour, and texture, transforming simple shapes into dynamic and original compositions. Her prints convey energy and movement, with the lines of power cables and wires suggesting sparks or electrical charge. This innovative approach demonstrates a high level of technical control, aesthetic awareness, and conceptual depth. Throughout component 1, Glenn shows deliberate and confident decision-making with a strong personal voice. Her work communicates both visual and intellectual engagement, and her ability to integrate research, experimentation, and refinement exemplifies the qualities expected at Level 5.
