FMP criteria

The assessment criteria for the project is the following:

1.1 Use critical and contextual perspectives to initiate a personal self-directed art and design project proposal.

I will use my existing knowledge of the concept art development process and analytical skills to break down the project criteria. This will allow me to design a challenging project that will put all of my time to good use and create a product that demonstrates this.

1.2 Use analysis and evaluation to clarify and develop a personal self-directed art and design project proposal.

I must evaluate my own ideas against the theme of the project to determine what kind of project I should work on, and what I should include in the proposal. This will also be informed by my initial research. The proposal will outline what I intend to create, and what I plan to learn along the way.

2.1 Use research to support the development of a personal self-directed art and design project.

I need to research various sources that will contribute to the development of my project. I must also provide evidence of this research.

2.2 Use analytical and evaluative skills to develop creative solutions to realise a personal self-directed art and design project.

My project development must be informed by critical analysis. I must use my analytical and evaluative skills to identify the best way forward.

3.1 Solve practical and technical problems within a personal self-directed art and design project.

I must provide evidence of problem solving using screenshots and the WHEN rule (what, how, effective, now.) When faced with a problem that can’t be solved with conventional methods, I must think outside of the box to solve it.

3.2 Solve theoretical problems within a personal self-directed art and design project.

I must also come up with solutions for potential problems that could arise during the project. This will allow me to continue working when I encounter a problem, instead of hitting a roadblock.

4.1 Demonstrate the ability to plan, organise and produce a personal self-directed art and design project within an agreed time-frame.

I must create a schedule and complete all of the work on time. Planning and organisation also includes character bios and concept art. This shows that I have put thought into each character design.

5.1 Demonstrate the application of practical methods and skills in the realisation of a personal self-directed art and design project.

I must use the various skills at my disposal to complete the project.

6.1 Maintain evaluative and reflective records of the development of a personal self-directed art and design project.

I must upload blog posts for everything I do during the project. The blogs must include screenshots and use WHEN.

6.2 Use evaluative and reflective skills to make decisions for a personal self-directed art and design project.

Every decision I make during the project must be justified by critical thinking. I will share my work with my peers to gather feedback.

7.1 Explore strategies to present a personal self-directed art and design project.

I must lay out my presentation for the Game Festival. This involves exploring ways to present the project to an audience.

7.2 Present a personal self-directed art and design project to a specified audience.

I will present my project at the Norwich Game Festival.
