Assessment evidence   (The assessment evidence is subsumed in the mark band descriptions)	
You need to produce the following evidence, which would typically be sketchbooks, preparatory work and some resolved work in order to demonstrate your understanding of 2D and 3D visual language. You should:	
•	Use a range of primary and secondary sources and explore visual language.
•	Use combinations of formal elements, mark-making and object-making and use drawing to develop ideas and intentions.	•	Identify formal elements, and techniques used in work you have studied and describe how others have used visual language.
•	Demonstrate use of visual language and show how visual language has developed your ideas.
