Guidelines for marking

The following guidelines for marking show one approach to assigning a value to a student's work. Other approaches may be used that better suit the reporting process of the school. Categories, marks, grades, visual representations or individual comments/notations may all be useful.

Range	A student in this range:
High	demonstrates a good understanding of the frames and the interrelationships and functions of the conceptual framework to interpret and explain meanings about Edge of the Trees and the site confidently analyses and explains the artists' intentions, choices of materials, and techniques and resolution of ideas to an audience demonstrates sound technical accomplishment to produce a video that clearly evokes the audience interaction with the site-specific sculpture Edge of the Trees.
Satisfactory	demonstrates an understanding of the frames and the interrelationships and functions of the conceptual framework to interpret and explain meanings about Edge of the Trees and the site analyses and explains some of the artists' intentions, choices of materials and techniques and resolution of ideas to an audience demonstrates technical accomplishment to produce a video that evokes the audience interaction with the site-specific sculpture Edge of the Trees.
Progressing	demonstrates some understanding of the frames and the interrelationships and functions of the conceptual framework to interpret and explain meanings about Edge of the Trees and the site analyses and explains in a limited way the artists' intentions, choices of materials and techniques and resolution of ideas to an audience demonstrates some technical accomplishment to produce a video that attempts to evoke the audience interaction with the site-specific sculpture Edge of the Trees.

Feedback

The teacher can provide written and oral feedback to students in the planning phase of the Activity. This feedback will inform students about their use of the frames, practice and conceptual framework in structuring a critical analysis and interpretation of Laurence's and Foley's installation which successfully explains its complex meanings to an audience and the appropriateness of the use of computer technologies, video practices, storyboards and the critical accounts developed by students. Written feedback will be provided in the form of a peer assessment sheet.

Future directions

As a result of this Activity students have developed an understanding about postmodernist installation and site-specific sculptural practice. They have investigated the postmodern and cultural frames and the conceptual framework to make judgements about the artwork Edge of the Trees. This video work can be extended and incorporated into a group-work site-specific installation artmaking unit. Students select a site and make an artwork incorporating time-based forms, and 2D and 3D forms, to communicate ideas about and relationships to the site.
