That being said, don't miss this article to gain practical tips to ace the Paper 2 of your SPM Pendidikan Seni Visual exam.
What Should You Take Note Of For Your SPM Pendidikan Seni Visual Kertas 3?
Another way to gain a high score for your SPM Pendidikan Seni Visual subject is through your Paper 3 ( school-based assessment).
For this paper:
- Candidates need to answer 1 out of 4 questions.
- Candidates will carry out this assessment during their Form 5 studies (for 6 months).
- Grading will be carried out by the subject teacher.
- The full mark of this paper is 100 marks.
- Topics will encompass 4 themes: Seni Halus, Seni Kraf, Reka Bentuk and Komunikasi Visual.
Here are some important tips to remember when you're preparing for this paper.
Tip 1: You must receive direct guidance and verification from the subject teacher throughout the project
Granted that this art project requires you to complete within 6 months, it is certainly not a straightforward task. That's why your subject teacher will guide you step by step to complete the project.
Whenever you meet your subject teacher for your individual consultation session, you'll need him or her to sign and state the date of all the consultations in a separate book as proof of guidance.
If you fail to submit this project, your final grade for your SPM Pendidikan Seni Visual will be listed as "absent" [Tidak Hadir] in your certificate so remember to take this school-based assessment seriously!
Tip 2: Produce a consistently good performance because only candidates who achieve the "Cemerlang" and "Baik" grades will be recorded in the achievement certificate
You can refer to the table below for the marking scheme for your project.
| Bil | Criteria | Full Marks |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pewujudan Idea | 10 |
| 2 | Pengolahan Idea | 35 |
| 3 | Penerokaan Idea | 25 |
| 4 | Penghasilan Karya atau Produk | 25 |
| 5 | Nilai dan Apresiasi | 5 |
To achieve grade Cemerlang, you have to score between 81 marks to 100 marks.
To achieve the grade Baik, you have to score between 61 marks to 80 marks.
Tip 3: You must bind all of your proof of work and put them together in a portfolio file and submit them together with your end product
Any documentation of your project must either be handwritten or computer-typed with clear evidence of the execution of your artwork (sketches, step-by-step progress). The portfolio must be produced with papers with measurements around 28cm x 38cm.
The final grading can only take place when you submit both your portfolio and end product. The absence of any of them will cause you to lose marks.
Important note: If you only submit the end product without the portfolio, you will not be awarded any marks.
Now that you have mastered the formats of all 3 papers of SPM Pendidikan Seni Visual, you are more equipped to tackle this subject confidently!
