A 25 slide exploration of the need to develop ideas through careful, considered and informed decision making. The slideshow starts with a series of slides that encourage students to think about how to work from an initial starting point to a final outcome.

The slideshow also includes a full explanation of each AO in student friendly language. This has been written by an experienced Head of department and Senior A level Art moderator. We hope that you find it of use when discussing component development with your students.

GCSE Art students will soon be undertaking their 10 hour art exam. This printable handout provides prompts which encourage students to consider how they have developed their ideas and how they have linked them to observations, the work of artists, media experimentation and use of techniques. It also encourages students to think carefully about what they still need to do before the exam day and what materials and prepping is needed before exam time starts. Each prompt provides space for students to write down their thoughts. This 6 page document can then be stuck into their sketchbooks to provide further evidence to the visiting moderator that there is a clear “creative journey” and that clear links have also been made to the four Assessment Objectives. This handout has been used effectively in an Ofsted Outstanding Art department.
