Guidelines for Marking

Range	A student in this range:
High	demonstrates a good understanding of the conventions of relief printing including cutting and printing techniques understands how the structural frame can be used to select and manipulate a range of visual qualities to represent a point of view about the city considers how audiences interpret symbols and experiments with composition, colour, scale, shape, texture and juxtaposition to communicate complex ideas about the city as utopia
Satisfactory	demonstrates an understanding of the conventions of relief printing including cutting and printing techniques understands how the structural frame can be used to select and manipulate some visual qualities to represent a point of view about the city considers how audiences interpret symbols and experiments with composition, colour, scale, shape, texture and juxtaposition to communicate ideas about the city as utopia
Progressing	demonstrates some understanding of the conventions of relief printing including cutting and printing techniques understands how the structural frame can be used to select and manipulate a limited range of visual qualities to represent a simple point of view about the city considers that audiences interpret symbols and experiments with composition, colour, scale, shape, texture and juxtaposition to communicate limited ideas about the city as utopia.

Feedback

The teacher can provide written and ongoing oral feedback to students in the planning phase and during the cutting and printing procedures. This feedback will inform students about the appropriateness of the selection of cutting tools and techniques, application of ink, printing techniques and colour manipulation, to assist in communicating meanings about the city through signs and symbols. Further feedback may take place when works are exhibited as part of a body of work about the city as Utopia: City in Decline.

Future directions

As a result of this activity or task students have developed an understanding about printmaking techniques and practice. They have investigated the structural frame and the conceptual framework to develop a visual language to represent to an audience their point of view about the city. Students may extend their investigation of different aspects of the city using drawing and painting techniques or by exploring the conventions of sculpture and the use of found and recycled materials to create an installation, or site-specific works referencing the city as utopia and in decline.
