This lesson encourages students to explore the concepts of development and refinement. As these are two key elements of the design process it is important for students to understand what they mean and how to effectively implement them in experiments and outcomes in accordance with assessment objectives.
Alot of students do not fully understand the importance of developing experiments and refining outcomes. AQA regularly see projects with ‘one and done’ responses. This lesson will allow students to explore what development and refinement are and apply the relevant questions to ask about their own work to create development within their projects.

Session introducing students to the Artworld through historic movements. Most students have little to no grasp of art history and so opening this world to them aims at inspiring creativity and possibility within their own projects.
Knowledge of art movements clarifies certain aspects of art and allows students to be exposed to these areas of research. To inspire creating work or progressing current projects it would aid students to know what to look for to find relevant : groups of artists, subject matter, style, mediums ans ways of working.

PDF and editable powerpoint included so you can add to this catalogue.
I made this accessible to students to help with inspiration and motivation.
Project Starting Flow Charts
2 different basic ways to start a creative project presented through flowcharts that show one part to the next.
This aid should be used to help students struggling to start, present or progress in their projects.
Basic flow chart method used to map out or plan aspects of the project. Please note these are simplified steps that students should expand upon, not just use it as a page by page guide for sketchbooks.
I have found that using flow charts allows students to realize what they have achieved, organize their projects more efficiently and also plan key steps for a project.
