โ Completed Digital/Tech-Integrated Artwork: This is the core summative artifact, demonstrating your skill development (Criterion B) in using digital tools and your creative thinking (Criterion C) in generating innovative visual solutions and exploring new aesthetics.
Detailed Explanation
The main piece of work that students need to produce for their summative assessment is a completed artwork that incorporates digital or technological elements. This artwork should reflect both their technical abilities and their ability to think creatively. Essentially, students are expected to apply what they have learned about using technology in art to create something unique and meaningful.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this as a chef creating a signature dish after completing a culinary course. The dish showcases everything the chef has learned, from cooking techniques to flavor combinations, just like this artwork shows all the digital skills and creative ideas the students have developed throughout the unit.
Written Artist Statement

โ Written Artist Statement: A concise explanation accompanying your artwork, reflecting on the technological process. It should detail the specific software and techniques used, how technology impacted the artwork's concept and aesthetics, and the intended visual experience or message. This directly addresses Criterion C (making deliberate artistic choices) and Criterion D (reflecting on conceptual impact).
Detailed Explanation
Along with their artwork, students must write an artist statement. This statement is like a guide that explains the choices they made while creating their piece. They will discuss the software they used, describe how these tools affected their ideas and the look of the artwork, and articulate what they want viewers to experience or understand when they see it.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you visit an art gallery and see a painting. The artistโs statement serves like a tour guide who explains the meaning behind the artwork, why certain colors were used, and what feelings the artist wants to evoke. This context can deepen your understanding of the art.
Presentation of the Artwork

โ Presentation of the Artwork: You will present your artwork to the class, articulating your artistic intentions, the technical challenges and solutions, and how your use of technology contributes to the artwork's overall meaning and audience engagement. This provides a platform for demonstrating your comprehensive understanding and reflection (Criterion D).
Detailed Explanation
Students will have the opportunity to present their artwork to their peers. In this presentation, they need to explain not only what their artwork is about but also the thought process behind it. They should discuss the challenges they faced during its creation, such as technical issues, and how they overcame these hurdles. This not only showcases their work but also reflects their learning journey.
Examples & Analogies
Think of a student giving a science presentation after completing a project. They describe their findings, the challenges of the experiments, and what they learned. The art presentation is similar, where the focus is on sharing their creative process and insights gained through working with technology.
