Various options of visual arts, done by Fifth Form students at the Albena Lake-Hodge Comprehensive School, are ready for shipment to Barbados to be graded by the Caribbean Examinations Council.
A small exhibit of some of the students’ work was mounted at the Visual Arts Department of the school on Monday. Department Head, Navine Miller, said the students were required to compile a portfolio of six SBA submissions of their choice. Their work represents sixty percent of their final grade and the remaining forty percent will be covered by an examination.
“The variety of work includes textile design and manipulation, fibre art and decorative craft, graphic design and communications, drawing and painting, sculpture, ceramics and mix-media,” Ms Miller explained. “The teachers in Anguilla have graded the work and entered the grades into an online system which automatically selected five students from each option to submit their work to the Caribbean Examinations Council.”
The visual arts classes are conducted by Teachers Navine Miller and Dervin Liburd. The students had been creating their SBAs from Fourth Form, covering a period of two years.
