Recap sessions aimed at Y1 September/January and Y2 September periods. Editable powerpoint and PDF of lesson with any relevant worksheets included. For GCSE and/or ALevel creative subjects - fine art focus. AQA exam board 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.

Project Starting Flow Charts

(0)
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.
