I didn’t get time to do a proper evaluation because the launch event for the magazine wasn’t until the last day of term and we didn’t finish the magazine until that day. But I am pasting reflections from earlier in the portfolio. The delays were because of Covid-19 closures and many students having to self-isolate.
I am applying for adapted assessment because of Covid.
How their leadership skills have developed
Being brave enough to talk to others about their ideas
- I asked lots of questions in the meeting with Sue
- I gave students feedback on their submissions
- I talked to staff when organising the party
Taking lots of other people’s opinions on board when planning something
- I asked other students what they thought in our meetings and took their ideas on board for the events
Helping others to connect through art
- People got to display their work at the exhibit and they were all really interested to see each others work
- We were all able to talk to each other because of this project
- I enjoyed showing other students my films at the exhibition
Showcasing the talents of others
- The exhibition and the magazine allowed students to show of their work. Even students who are not doing arts award got to showcase their work.
Curating
- I had to find pictures and information and pick the best stuff.
How the project has developed their art form knowledge and understanding, communication skills, creativity in arts practice and planning and review skills
The list of skills above covers some of this

Achievements, successes and challenges
I have mentioned lots of the challenges throughout the project in detail. The biggest challenge was time constraints because of Covid-19
What they have learnt about working effectively with others
Covered in the skills list above
What they have learnt from the feedback they received
There wasn’t much time to get feedback but I got lots of compliments on the party and the magazine
What they would do differently in future in terms of improving the project
Have more time!
This is the end of my arts award portfolio.
