introduction page to show which theme you are doing and

how you plan to approach it. Create a mind map to

illustrate the different routes you could go to – develop

this by adding images.

Create a collage of images within your theme, these could

be drawn examples, photographs, found images e.g.

magazines, internet, postcards. Begin to study artists

within your theme and document your ideas.

Choose a photographer/s to study in more detail. Create

a minimum of 3-4 pages about your photographer, making

studies of their work and annotations to document your

understanding of their work. Write about why you chose

this photographer/s, what you think of their work, what

you have discovered from experimenting within their style

*Exam Time:o During your 'Exam' time, you MUST execute, create, present and evaluate your FINAL OUTCOME(s) .

o AO4: PRESENT - During your 10hrs (TBC) of Exam time, you MUST create a / a series final outcome/s,

which clearly links with/back to your 'Preparation' & 'Development' work.

o Before your exam, make a personal plan/ schedule so that you know what you will need to do for every

minute during each lesson. Use time-scales to help you keep to task throughout your exam.

o Allow time to produce an 'EVALUATION' page(s) inside your journal/ sketchbook. Students for their mock

exam gained vital marks from their evaluations. This is not to say you should rely on it (your book should thoroughly

show your ideas and understanding), however, it is an evaluative piece which demonstrates to the examiner what you

have documented, how it has influenced your work and how you feel about the body of work you have created

including your final outcome/s.
