Visual arts assistant examiners

Candidates taking visual arts are able to choose from two course assessment options.

Option A

Option A is designed for students who wish to concentrate on studio practice in visual arts. Students will produce investigation workbooks to support, inform, develop and refine studio work through sustained contextual, visual and critical investigation.

Option B

Option B is designed for students who wish to concentrate on contextual, visual and critical investigation in visual arts. In their investigation workbooks students will explore fully an integrated range of ideas within a contextual, visual and critical framework and produce studio work based on their visual and written investigation.

The assessment and role of a visual arts examiner varies for these options.  Examiners are required to:

• Moderate investigation workbooks for option A candidates (No travel is required).
• Visit schools to examine studio work (Option A and B) and investigation workbooks (Option B).

We are particularly interested in examiners able to visit schools in the following regions and countries:

Applicants must have an appropriate qualification in art (at least at degree level or equivalent) and have a minimum of two years' experience teaching the subject to 16-18 year olds or at a higher level.

Applicants are also expected to have had some assessment experience in the subject, and to be practising in their art.
