GCSE Exam paper 2020
OCR has published this year's Eternally Set Task which lists your range of starting points - you will be given an official colour copy of this paper when we receive them at school, however there is a digital copy below should you need it for future reference. Your teacher will talk through all of the starting points and give you some guidance on what possibilities they each offer.
You must choose one of these starting points to develop into a body of work. This unit is worth 40% of the overall GCSE grade and usually culminates in a final piece (or series of pieces) of painting or sculpture. Your prep period will run until the second week back after Easter, when you will get your 10 hours (2 full school days off timetable) in your normal Art room to complete your work. All preparatory work must be brought to school and remain there once the 10 hours have started, after which it is kept at school for making and moderation.
Please note - we advise students who are taking Photography as well to choose different starting points for either subject.
