9.6 Exit criteria The following exit criteria must be used in making judgments about a student’s level of achievement at exit from a course in Visual Art. The exit criteria are derived from the general objectives described in Section 3. Criterion 1: Visual literacy This criterion refers to the student’s ability to: define visual problems and communicate solutions with relevant concepts, focuses, contexts and media create and communicate meanings through the use of visual language and expression research, develop, resolve and reflect to demonstrate a personal aesthetic (style/expression). Criterion 2: Application This criterion refers to the student’s ability to: construct meaning using knowledge and understanding of materials, techniques, technologies and art processes select, explore and exploit materials, technologies, techniques and art processes, informed by researching, developing, resolving and reflecting. Criterion 3: Appraising This criterion refers to the student’s ability to: analyse, interpret, evaluate and synthesise information about visual language, expression and meanings in artworks, relevant to concepts, focuses, contexts and media justify a viewpoint through researching, developing, resolving and reflecting use visual art terminology, referencing and language conventions. 9.7 Determining exit levels of achievement On completion of the course of study, the school is required to award each student an exit level of achievement from one of the five categories: Very High Achievement (VHA) High Achievement (HA) Sound Achievement (SA) Limited Achievement (LA) Very Limited Achievement (VLA). The school must award an exit standard for each of the criteria Visual literacy, Application and based on the principles of assessment described in this syllabus. The criteria are Appraising derived from the general objectives and are described in Section 3. The standards associated with the three exit criteria are described in the matrix in Section 9.9. When teachers are determining a standard for each criterion, it is not always necessary for the student to have met each descriptor for a particular standard; the standard awarded should be informed by how the qualities of the work match the descriptors overall. For Year 11, particular standards descriptors may be selected from the matrix and/or adapted to suit the task. These standards are used to inform the teaching and learning process. For Year 12 tasks, students should be provided with opportunities to understand and become familiar with
