Welcome to the NSW Department of Education Assessing visual arts bodies of work resource. This resource is designed to assist stage 6 visual arts teachers to make informed and valid judgements when marking HSC bodies of work. It is not intended to replace the NSW Standards Authority (NESA) Visual Arts – 2020 HSC Marking Support Pack which is available to all 2020 year 12 visual arts teachers via registration through NESA (see contact details at side). All Year 12 teachers should access the NESA Marking Support pack and complete the professional learning modules before referring to materials on this site.
This resource will assist teachers to:
Currently this resource has three parts:
Visual Arts teachers of year 12 students are required to complete the formal assessment of the body of work at the end of the course. Works are due on the 14 September 2020 and no work is to be completed after this date. This HSC mark is not an opportunity for student feedback and all marks must remain confidential. Teachers use the marking guidelines and benchmarks available in the NESA Marking Support Pack to determine marks. Marks are due to NESA via Schools Online by 23 September 2020.
This process is different to school-based formal assessment tasks (you will have had a maximum of four), as school-based tasks should reflect specific course components, requirements and weightings and provide feedback. Appropriate school-based marking guidelines should be developed for school-based assessment tasks.
In the future we will update this resource to include advice on providing feedback to lift student results in the body of work.
