OCR GCE Art, Textiles, Photography Personal Related Study Essay Unit - Coursework Booklet

This booklet is designed to aid students in planning and contextualising their personal related study and to help them to create the required essay which supports their coursework journey. The booklet gives a broken down, step-by-step overview plan of the essay structure and supports this through specific suggestions and guidance for each essay section. It is to be used for Key Stage 5 students. It has been designed by myself, in accordance with my knowledge and experience of the OCR art, textiles and photography A Level criteria, to encourage students to carefully consider their intentions, ideas, artist inspirations, and what they will be exploring and reflecting upon throughout the personal study. The separate sections are colour-coded on the overview page, and then this relates to the more detailed pages which delve more in-depth into each section of the essay. The separate sections allow for specific focus and direction with students when used for discussion.

This resource is one PDF file. It covers:

• Possible Related Study Essay Titles
• Independent Related Study Essay Overview
• Task 1: Title, Introduction, Essay format
• Task 2: Background Research, Quotes
• Task 3: Research, Analyse
• Task 4: Compare & Contrast

The booklet has been designed to be used to deliver the GCE art/textiles/photography Related Personal Study Essay and is essentially a scheme in the form of a detailed booklet. I usually print this as an A4 booklet and after going through the initial overview sheet, use it to teach and deliver the Personal Study essay element of the art/textiles/photography A Level.

I have created other A Level, GCSE and KS3, annotation, analysis and evaluation sheets, which you may wish to look at in my shop.
